I call them mages (see Circle Seer ), because I wanted something short and less technical sounding - also my version needs to be updated to now include Warlocks, too. :)

I like the use of a kicker-like mechanic here. Beats the alternate cost version I tried on Inquisitor's Mark etc. It is the integration with the batch word for spellcasters that really sells this.

Should the if-clause be considered linked to the first ability, or would it also apply if this spell somehow was given convoke?

I was following the template of the Draconic Roar cycle. It's funny you mention that, though; I was planning on making a legend that gives your spells spellcaster-conspire, which happens to work extra well with these
