Increasing Fatigue?

I like the concept.
I would change the language from "gain" to "mana channeled". In essence the concept you propose is a wizard is trained to direct or channel the etheric forces of magic. Their ability to handle this power is based off of the ST stat. Once the limit is reached, they OD and the feedback knocks them out (I say this because an incapacitated but awake wizard strikes me as weird and unpoetic).

Would the PCs magical conduit ability be = to their current physical ST? This means the magi recovering from the arrow wound has a diminished ability to cast before passing out and thus retaining some of the RAW.

Wow, you got me thinking that mana batteries would now be capacitors. They are like electrical breakers, rated to different levels and once reached they "trip" and cannot be used again until they cool down or are reset.
What would the world effects be if mana stones/staffs could not be refilled but had to cool down? Say 1 ST per hour? Day?!?! Maybe a scale based on size?
