    Seraphism as an upgrade to Dissipation

    With how ridiculous button bloat has become, especially when it comes to healing buttons we don't need, I think it would have made more sense for Seraphism to become what everyone initially thought it would be which was an upgrade to Dissipation. I mean, how cool would it be if, instead of eating our fairy, we fuse with her? It would actually be a simple process that wouldn't take up too much time for 8.0:

    Step 1: Make it FAIRY THEMED. Just give us a pair of nice fairy wings and that will be more than enough for us in the identity department. Have the new name be Fey Trance.

    Step 2: Make the changes to Adlo and Concit mostly cosmetic; keep the potencies the same but let it be instant cast to further help lean into the heal magic buff. This will keep the ability balanced for Recitation.

    Step 3: Remove the passive regen and Emergency Tactics reset. This will also be for balance purposes. Seraphism is just absurd with how much healing it can belt out in a few GCDs because of this. Scholar already has a 60 second CD on Recitation; I don't think we need this much. LOL

    Edit:

    Step 4: Still lock the Scholar out of Fairy abilities. Turn Adloquium into True Embrace and turn Concitation into True Blessing, again keeping the change purely aesthetic just to drive the idea home.

What was once a magical world peeled away to reveal a sterile room of four walls. No imagination, no challenge, only accessibility for the sake of it. I didn't feel welcomed, I felt betrayed.
    I'll give healer a try up until level 100. If I do not like it, I'm off the role, entirely.
