I question the validity of a spell or skill that destroys your ability to cast spells as a hybrid in order to protect you from lag skills, since hybrids are required to use spell to make up for less defenses and health.

And not "rein"? Reign means to rule or one's period as ruler. Reins are used to control a horse or team of horses for a wagon, or for a horse-drawn chariot, etc.
Question is, are there ways to dismount the rider? I'd think that a charge should be able to knock the rider from his (or rarely, her) mount. On the other hand, a dark-knight with enhanced polearm or two-handed spear charges while mounted (I'm thinking of a jousting option)... Probably would need to be nerfed after it's tried out though, if it were done.
something that denies lag skills and losing defenses needs to have drawbacks. I just feel it's an out of place way to deal with the biggest problem that's been hounding hybrids. But I will try it to the end of 61 deaths before I say that it's not good.
Also, ilo, mystique.
