power gradation just needs a damage buff imo and maybe some mechanical rework so that you have to use it wisely.

a momentum or fp debuff doesn't seem like too good of an idea, because the skill changes your damage to magic. that alone is pretty strong for a swordsman. and it becomes just another ooga booga skill that you can freely use without punishment.

then again this is just my opinion. a lot of skills are like that, so yeah, but eclair lacroix, for example, punishes you with a huge FP + momentum cost, and has to be used wisely. power gradation is trying to be both a grand skill like EL and a minor skill like sidecut, which just doesn't work out.
