Some ideas to consolidate buttons/reduce button bloat

[Mahoukenshi]

Make cure 1, benefic 1, and physick upgrade to cure 2, benefic 2, and adlo respectively. I can't think of any situation where using these baby spells is useful. As soon as you get the "rank ups" you will never use the others again. Total waste, but can't delete them off your bar in case you get thrown into a terribly low dungeon.

In that case, SE would need to replace the free Cure 2/Benefic 2 trait as well as the consolidation would make it (even more?) useless.

Replace Freecure with Cure Mastery, Enhanced Benefic with Benefic Mastery, and give Scholar a trait called Physick Mastery. All these traits would do is replace the spells with their upgraded versions (Cure -> Cure 2, Benefic -> Benefic 2, Physick -> Adloquium). Maybe the MP costs of these spells could be lowered to 800 or so, too, as compensation for the replacement of the old traits. The developers obviously expected people to make use of them, after all.

freecure is a noob trap anyway. IF we have to have it, put it on stone/glare

I have never in all my life used rank 2 fishing in content. It is one of those things that was obviously prime for pruning, but they took away our fun buttons instead.

Yes, but with one caveat.
When you don't have enough MP for a 2/adlo, it reverts to 1/physick.

I would rather wait a second for mana to come back than waste the mana on a less potent spell if I'm forced to use a gcd.
