Bringing Drives into this sidesteps the argument because A)Drive change the function of spells, B)Anti and Valor don't even allow spellcasts, and C) it's a further resource diluting the essence of combat. No one with a brain will tell you adding a new mechanic is worth gimping an existing one.

And your argument is a false dichotomy since you can have the old Magic system while still implementing Drives.
