Been playing with this mod for a couple months now and I'm never dropping it. It's too good.
But I have noticed a couple things that feel either missing or are QoLs.

Energy overcapacity- When a pawn removed a piece of equipment that adds to their energy capacity and makes it so their max pool is smaller than their current amount, it instantly drops the current amount down to the max. And when they don a piece of equipment, their current pool does not scale u[p to the new max. Which is fine for the most part. It's a common sanity check and helps prevent abuse/bugs. But a problem shows up when the equipment is rapidly removed then replaced, like when a pawn takes a shower with Dub's hygiene mod. The first time I had a colony that could afford both plumbing and fully kitted out mages, it took me awhile to realize why all my pawns never had full mana.
Suggestion: Instead of lowering the pawn's current energy instantly when their max pool changes, put them in an Overcharged state until their current energy is equal or below their max again. Overcharged reversed the flow of energy, turning their natural regen into a drain. That way quick replacement of equipment doesn't penalize mages.

Paracyle beast- An animal infested with a mutated paracyte plant. The mutant paracyte can only spread to others animals of the same species, so while the infested will be hostile to uninfested others of its species, it is not automatically hostile towards other pawns.
Each animal counts as a mage for purposes of paracytic drain. Butchering one of these animals yields half the normal amount of meat and leather, but also yields magicyte crystals depending on the animal size. Any animal can be infested, from bunnies to thrumbos.

Magicyte meteor event- An ancient meteor of pure magicyte lands on the map. Mining the walls yields a large bounty of magicyte crystals, but the event is not without dangers. Paracyte spores spread across the map, which can be a blessing or a curse due to the paracytic drain. Also, every day at midnight the natural magic of the area interacts with the magicyte walls and has an additive 5% per wall section of spawning a rift event.

Magic foci aparatuses: Magical machinery. Buildings that incorporate etched spell formula to autocast a particular spell using stored mana. Research unlocked after mana storage and scribing.
Construction costs are some minimal construction materials plus magicyte crystals, usually equal to what it would cost to scribe the spell. The spell is sustained by draining the building's internal mana reserve, which can be replenished manually by mages using the same mechanic as a mana capacitor or by drawing from a mana capacitor within range.
All have a decent beauty rating that is enhanced by the build quality and material. Arcane chic is always in style.

• Arcane torch- Cheap light producing building. Requires only 5 construction material and 1 magicyte crystal. Uses 1 mana per day to product as much light as a torch. Does not produce heat.
  
• Bluefire Brasier- Mage's stove. Produces heat like the draw heat spell, but has the same cooking bills as an electric stove.
  
• Coldfire Brazier- Magician's HVAC. Combines the draw and dispell heat spells into one convenient package. With a bonus rift to the aromatherapy dimension. Provides heating or cooling to the room as necessary, and adds slightly to the cleanliness rating.
  
• Daystar globe- Magical sunlamp. Has the option to activate a weak fertile fields effect for increased mana usage.
  
• Archmage ward- Mana shield made stationary. Covers a small area around it. Large mana capacity.
  
• Phoenix Shrine- Statue that provides a weak regen and pain killing effect to nearby pawns. Can be triggered to cast a full heal on the most damaged pawn, prioritizing closing bleeding wounds.
  
• Magicyte furnace- Utility building that can burn magicyte crystals or (possibly) nutrition items to produce mana that gets dumped into nearby storage buildings. While extremely inefficient, it can be useful in a pinch.
