The "use as a defence" is already in the rules, as you say.

Like I said, I haven't had a chance to see if it makes sense. The idea that most have augment-only magic makes some sense to me (you need to dedicate some time as a magician if you want active magic) but I don't know if augment vs active is really the best way to make that split.
