Scaling of abilities to a player's level is not a step in the right direction.

might be valuable, but these skills will have to be altered to be something you could use way more often. not simply use for 1 minute, this would be have to be something you could toggle on and off, or use before most spells.

This = easy mode.

I wouldn't mind a permanent mode you could select that reduced your magic potency in exchange for less enimity a la Defender.
