As you said, Mages can get every element for every. single. situation. There have to be some times where the mage just flat out doesn't come prepared, otherwise what's the point of having skill slots. You should just go "Well I might as well take all of my offensive spells and squeeze in graft."

They need to be taken just a .slight. peg. Just slightly. I know that with 12 skill slots I can almost manage to set up my stuff on Quinn, and would only need like. 2 more skill slots. 3 being optimal. They really, really, don't need 18 skill slots.
