Ambient mana results in strange evolution?

Obviously because they haven't evolved Reverse Missiles yet.

Based on all of the above advice, I'd just simplify it as a 5 point advantage (Call it Lightning-Fast Draw or something), which seems to be in the ballpark of all the suggestions so far.

When your chances of a Failure are smaller than your chances of a Critical Success (especially when there's not really a benefit to Critical Success), I don't see it being much of a problem to allow a No Nuisance Rolls Perk for it.
Heck, I'd advocate it just to stop me from having to WATCH them roll so much. :)

Then moments when they're in a dire enough situation that they don't have the crucial 16+ Effective Skill will actually be moments of some tension: With the wash of the blood streaming down his face matched only by the pounding of the rain, his fingers numbed by both cold and the biting pain of the claw marks of the Sha'alba, can our hero clutch the arrow tightly enough? Steady the string firmly enough beside his cheek?

Let's find out...
