- Make firestarter proc quicker (at least in my case, I don't get it until like 0.5s from the end of the F1 cast - I think it's when you can slidecast)
- Make F3 damage application faster (it's not a big deal but it takes so long for the damage to apply sometimes when finishing mobs, that it would just feel better)
- If they stick with this mana system, make it trigger on finish of cast not on damage application so that it can't be ghosted.
- Move 1 stack of triple cast to pre-50
- Not quite sure how but getting some way to get a weave slot at a lower level could be nice
- Foul instant cast immediately at 70
- This one is a bit controversial but perhaps increase the level you get Freeze? I didn't realise for a while that you get umbral hearts from it as you don't get that trait until Level 58 but you get freeze at Level 40. It would make sense to get this at a similar time to B4.
- Remove mana cost from Scathe. At Level 100, if you cast scathe once before refilling MP, you don't have MP for Flare Star.
- Perhaps reduce the cast time of Flare slightly? It's a full second longer than despair.
- Add the comment on Flare that with umbral hearts, that you don't use all MP.
- Make Aetherial Manip more responsive. Possibly add a setting to retarget nearest enemy afterwards (useful on large bosses that are hard to tab target).

Does anyone else have ideas for basic QoL that doesn't alter gameplay too much?
1. Just make Thunder castable whenever you're in astral/umbral stance, without need for a special status. This would incidentally allow you to delete Scathe.
2. If you don't delete Scathe, zero its MP cost and maybe make it absorb HP or something.
3. Don't have a separate "astral gauge"; just make astral soul stacks appear in the same place as umbral hearts usually do (first each umbral heart would be replaced with an astral heart, then each of the three astral hearts would light up brighter)
