Energy Boon

Issue

You lose 10 energy through exhaustion and gain a maximum of 20 (energy conversion of 1 to 2 -> passive to active). That's under powered compared to GoLE and you will be exhausted when you are interrupted, too.

Suggestion

Change it into a signet to convert passive energy @ 0 in active energy and change cast time to 0.75 second to have a better chance for the energy gain. (better ideas are welcome!)

Issue

Exhaustion makes the skill useless. Glyph of Energy is a better option; prevents exhaustion, recharges faster, and if used on a high-energy skill, provides more net energy saved.

Suggestion

Remove the Exhaustion clause. If necessary, lower the minimum gain to 0 energy so that in the extremely unlikely event other professions want to waste their elite on this, they can't.

Suggestion

Elite Spell. You gain 10...82...100 Health and 0...16...20 Energy.

Useless skill, outclassed by Offering of Blood

Issue

This skill is rubbish.

Suggestion

Drop exhaustion, change to 5e 1/4s 8r "Elite Enchantment. For 20 seconds, your next spell heals you for 10...82...100 and gives you 3...10...12 energy plus 120...240...270% of its base cost."

Issue

Weak energy gain (loses 10 due exhaustion and 5 due it cost)

Slow casting

Linked to energy storage (its never going to see a superior rune)

Overall weak elite spell

Suggestion

Effect: Elite Spell. You gain 25...29...30 Energy. Energy Boon causes Exhaustion.

5 1/4 15

Well, now it has a purpose, provides enough energy (10..14..15) to cast another spell. The payoff is exhaustion. As a side effect, P/E and W/E could consider using them as it energy works for non spell skill (well, it has to be better than GolE.
