How does this sound?

Why can the Preservers use defiler stuff? Shouldn't that be an alternate ability? Did preservers have to suck juice from their surroundings? I thought they powered all their spells with their own energy? Why can't defilers chose to suck energy slowly like Perservers, eliminating the nuisance effect of the reaction penalty.

I like the taint mechanic on Defiling magic.
