So SE want's to take the choice of magic tiers and add skill up to your magic (as to how much you use it)? How does this work, adding a stamina gauge to the cast, is that it??

I "liked" the argument for the reason of stealing your ability of options but I think SE doesn't know how to communicate with the player base about these implementations as to, "we want to try this out before making it official".

You should still have your tiered spells but also skill them up/ have a stamina/ power gauge to it. With ever would work. This goes back to my shield skill argument, they should stop taking away our options!
