Why would a gradually evolving model be complex?

Based upon certain variables or whatever signs are coded to trigger the change, the model only needs transitional animations to smooth into different "levels" of energy with least intense to most intense being the fully energized form.

They probably did go for another solution; if anything, Magus' passive will be like an inverted version of Cassiopeia's passive but with tacked on bonus AP or % damage increase for Magus' spells.
