So a little like OS for that. Agreed. Also add side effects and weaknesses for certain situations like Gwen trying to use it in her HAZMAT (OS), inexperienced users having poor control and might make spells go haywire by accident, can be exhausted and must be recharged (kinda like the Narutoverse's Chakra except no death for overuse), and like Greenwatch said, lots of practice.
