Flames: I like the idea to apply 2 fireburns at once, but why boost Flames when you may just want to reduce the physical damage penalty ? I find BURNDAYRAZ pretty powerful, and making this kind of change would imbalance casters further.
Mana Leak: After that change, pure casters would be in a pretty bad shape. And what if I want to cast ENDISWAL to survive the next hit, then finish the monster with GETINDARE ?
You could separate BURNDAYRAZ casters from the others by concentrating bonus-malus in one boon like:
Lich Form: BURNDAYRAZ damage is increased by 1 per level, applies 2 stacks of Fireburn, and cost 1 less mana. In exchange, your bonus damage is reduced by 100%, your health cannot regenerate normaly and HALPMEH is helpless.
Then you could make a different kind of Mana Leak:
Mana Leech: Each time you inflict physical damage, you regenerate 1 mana. And I can't think of a proper malus right now.
