while my other minor annoyance is the lack of balance, in a few places. I want Blue Mage to make its players feel like they have choices, and that they can use "what they want", or "what they like", instead of there being "simply superior" spells that would make other players turn on the player for using the "worse" or "inferior" spell, instead of using the "better" or "best" spells.

and this is why some of my ideas are a way to "balance" the oGCDs that share recast-time, so that players have a "choice", rather than.. pick the "better" spell and pretend like the "worse" spell does not exist.

and then the last of my ideas, the wild ideas of how to make a "useless" spell "useful", such as with Aqua Breath, CactGuard, Both Ends, and Veil of The Whorl, is because I hate this fact of "some spells are close to useless, so never use them, except for in super niche edge-cases."
