Well, sadly, you cut down her power at all stages for the game and as such the passive is only good at inflating your AP.

Same shit Riot did to Cassio. "Here, have a free Rabadon. We'll gut your damage by half, though."

It needs something else to feed the idea. For example... I don't know, a +% for every Sphere on the field. Then you can trim some given power from spells, lowering early game level - which seems to be your intention, not a fan of it though - while keeping mid-late game power somewhat similar or higher.

Now, the sphere cap change is completely unnecessary, if not bad even. Needlessly inflates skill cap.
