To add a point to the thread beyond my original post:

I don't see why this would be needed. Excel crash is very strong, and the excel tome is fine. What do you gain from using a non-excel tome? Other bonus stuff. Excel your tome is already giving you a strong ability by letting you excel crash. I think it's simply a fair tradeoff. Unlike the excel plus skills that just work on a single skill per base class and is usually quite niche or sometimes underwhelming, excel crash lets you use at least two options for your build since you are a mage and it's guaranteed to be decently strong. Of course there are some outliers of excel plus being pretty powerful but I feel like that's more of an excel plus problem and doesn't mean this mechanic here should be changed.
