Wow, i haven't worked it and hardly used it, but playing around with people on test... holy crap.
Once this will get heavily used, it will be a problem i think, but just my opinion, let me lay out some spells...
Hail storm...does a heavy amount of damage to a range of targets. if you have several people in a small area, and a few mystics run up, you can toast them all with this spell. Meteor swarm was scaled down based on the number of targets, and someone hoppin in to wither spam had to get close enough to touch them to be effective. This could be pretty rough in the future.
Spell plague -- im not positive on this but from what i saw, it seems like you can cast this on someone and just fireball/magic arrow/nether bolt someone causing tons of consistent damage. Not tooooo overpowered, but a very effective spell.
And this one was very interesting. 2 mages ran up and attacked a mystic on test. The mystic went into protection, and went into stone form. He then just spammed Cleansing Winds. Because of stone form the 2 mages could not curse or poison him, it was also very tough to try to sneak a paralyze in because he was already paralyzed 90% of the time trying to spam the long casting Cleansing Winds. we could not find a weakness with him until he ran out of mana, got out of stone form and tried to run, since he was still in protection chain para/poison took him down. Keep in mind this guy did not have a box, apples or cure pots. I don't know if we ever would have killed him if he did. If he had a box, the few paralyzes we snuck in inbetween the cleansing winds casting (which was about the only weakness we could go at) There may be another weakness to this, but i am not aware of it at this time.
Sleep - 7 seconds on a char that has 120 resist, that can be removed with apples, remove curse, etc. Apples have a 10sec timer, so someone spamming this spell can toast most templates.
Heal stone -- not too bad, just different, have to get used to people having this.
anyone else have some thoughts/flames on this?
