I dont really like it.
-4 to skill is easy to soak and the higher skill to do so gives other benefits such as reduced energy cost.
The extra 2 FP and penalty to Active Defenses are more meaningful but its kind of clunky and I think still too much in favor of mages.
A M3 caster could toss a 3d missile much less expensively (point wise) then an archer.
I think a better model could be based off Move and Attack, the Wild Swing type penalty could keep archers from being overtaken.
