    Yet it will probably have that impact, as you've removed any conflict between optimizing Astral Fire cycles and LL sync and optimizing Manafont itself, reducing the value of varying rotation.

    Making Manafont something you can hit on CD regardless of one's point in rotation has zero impact on button bloat.

    For it not to consume a button, you would need to either (A) remove it altogether, reducing BLM's agency by its difference, or (B) make it passive (after reaching zero MP, the cost of your spells will be nullified, to a maximum of 3k MP thus saved; once used, effect cannot reoccur for X seconds).

    If you want to address Button Bloat in a far more reasonable way, look instead to mutually exclusive actions.

    For instance, add to Blizzard IV "Automatically converts to Fire IV under Astral Fire if Fire IV is not equipped to your hotbars," and vice versa for Fire IV. Do the same for Freeze and Flare. Do the same for Between the Lines and Ley Lines, so the first takes the place of latter after the latter's use.
