The main problem comes with his talents. While a lot are cool, there is WAY too many focused around giving him more ways to drain his mana faster. While you definitely would want to get trait value, you also wouldn't want to be constantly draining your mana as fast as he is currently through his talents, since you wouldn't be able to get much value from his base kit abilities that rely on mana. For example, I would make Battle Magnus a toggle effect or completely rework it, as that is begging for his mana to be deleted super fast.
Additionally, giving him some way to gain his mana back reliably would be a good idea. Most likely via Evocation, as thats a trademark of arcane mages. He already drains his mana fast with his base kit, his gimmick should be managing his mana levels at any given moment, not blowing through his mana like a lunatic.
Otherwise, I like it.
I'll look at it again. One solution I had considered when looking at his mana was to give him a smaller pool with higher regen, making it easier to get low but harder to stay there without maintaining Arcane Momentum. Maybe I'll re-consider that.
