[MegaBlues]

I would be for this, if

1: Brainstorm was still a thing.
2: It -did- allow for repeat casting, or at the very least, have a recast end the status prematurely. I don't see why this would be an issue, save for Magaisendo, and there are (arguably) worse things out there.
3: Mages got some sort of split-damage/multi-hitting spell. You know why.
