In my honest opinion, I've always thought that the better solution for equalizing the normal and ancient spellbook binds would be to have Protect from Magic half the duration of ice spell binds like it did with normal binding spells (the exact opposite of what happened in Deadman Mode). With the current Deadman Mode model, and with it already being so easy to land binds (even on players with high magic defense), I feel that it takes away a huge chunk of the Protect from Magic prayer's power and viability in PvP situations.
All that aside, I definitely agree with adding a 20-second binding spell to the normal spellbook (it's all about equalizing as much as possible), and many of these other proposed changes sound very good to me!
