Yea, don't I know it. The only spell I almost ever use is Teleport or Teleport Friend, which I find doesn't have any difference at all. As for what you are suggesting, Weather, is nice, but I'd personally like to think that you should get more than just a damage/mana bonus for controlling the Shards. I've read somewhere they they also unlock new/better spells, but I've never seen them. I'd like to think that if you capture a shard early in the game, then you get the cha

I find the magic system in v1.05.16 to be rather hum-drum. Even with removing the Summoning Book from the character creation process, magic comes way too fast, and just isn't as epic as it could/should be.

This sounds very simular to how Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift does its combat, with a group of soldiers, being controlled across a tile-based battlefield. I actually like that, like a game of chess where each type of unit has its own abilities, strength and weaknesses. By customizing a unit, say with heavy armour and a spear, you make a tanking soldier that can attack at a greater range and do damage to multiple enemies infront of them. That is a great way
