In my opinion I do not think that this a good idea. I think that Ian Cooper's approach strikes the right chord, and I would even go so far as to remove active and augment only making all magic active. For me its just so much more fun that way.

What I think we need is a way to differentiate different kinds of magic use - maybe even make feats one use until you spend a day in worship or something, like old Rune Magic. If you are a Devotee you can use them all the time. That sort of thing.

What I don't want is another set of contests to find out if I can actually use an ability. Having said that, YGWV and each to his own.
