We could rejig the Magic Rituals, so that casting time reduction comes before one-handed casting, but I don't remember Haku as especially quick caster. So maybe it should be tangential?
Haku's one-handed seals were, AFAIK a quirk of Ice Release, although inbetween Shippuden and Boruto I remember Naruto learning how to perform Shadow Clone Jutsu one-handed... It seemed like a rare ability, and it may be something that has to be sought out specifically.

We'd have to change the magic ritual system, true.

We could just work on both a powers and magic based system, and present both as options.
