Thank you! I agree, the biggest risk with tying a passive to a level 1 ult is that the two often end up feeling like just one same effect split across two fields of text, and I really wanted to avoid that with Mantra. This was probably one of the times where Karma's duality theme helped, because it pushed me to shift the more passive Mantra component to her ult, and her aggressive charge generation to her innate. Ideally, even if both effects are ultimately about generating the same resource and encourage an aggressive overall playstyle, they should feel different in both thematics and gameplay.
