Ultimately, this is what I actually want. I can brew up ideas on how to keep it's current form for days, but Dark Arts could and should come back as its own standalone ability, and at this point, TBN being on a 15s CD be damned.

If they are insistent on TBN staying on a 15s CD for cost-"reward", then simply refund as much mp as Dark Arts costs when the shield breaks (provided that DA has an mp cost)
