The first thing I would drop is con saves and give Wis and Str. I would then look at maybe medium armor with hands-free casting OR heavy armor and normal casting.Extra damage source, like it but not sure what, obviously burn a slot to add something maybe damage of a type that matches a prepared spell? Just throwing it out there. Or maybe go weird and give advantage on a damage die or something. Possibly add a die based on the slot level. Lots to play with.Definitely a unique and somewhat limited spell list (see above about focus) if you wanted a super-general sampling they should be interesting and decent but generally not the absolute go-to spells.Just a few ideas off the top of my head.</blockquote>
