Spell / Staff combat
-Channel Staff: No resource cost (most casters don't use mana!); to compensate, possibly reduce damage or range (say, 4 + talent level instead of 8).
-Staff Mastery: Works as currently.
-Defensive Posture: Use your staff's power to defend instead of destroy. Reduces your staff's Spellpower stat by 5% per talent level, but puts that amount into your armor, defense, ranged defense, and saves.
-Staff Potency: 2% per talent level boost to the damage type of the staff you're using.

The idea here is to provide something like Shoot for staff casters, but with some more general benefits at the higher end of the tree. Defensive Posture might actually be worth taking if it provided more serious protection as per the above, and a 10% damage boost to your primary type is enough to warrant consideration but not so large that it's a must-have.

Spell / Magical training
-Body of Knowledge: Passive. Boosts spell save and increases your mana regeneration rate slightly. (But doesn't give you a mana pool if you don't have one.)
-Counterspell: A beam that attempts to destroy in-flight magical projectiles. It makes an opposed check against each potential target; win = counter the effect and lose some power, lose = end the counterspell. Becomes a radius at higher levels.
-Runes of Power: Sustain. Cooldown times of your runes are decreased by 5% per talent level.
-Spellweaver: Passive. Reduce the cost of your 'magical' sustains by 5% / talent level.

The idea here is that any caster can learn at least the 'basics' of casting spells with mana, even if they primarily use another resource. For the no-mana-regen classes, this would provide an alternate way to gain some regen (but requiring a category point). The higher level effects are more generally applicable (and perhaps too strong at 5%).
