this isnt running out of ideas. its using a life restriction to make the card balanced when it just makes it unplayable

either keep the life restriction and give it counter or give the second ability a gauge and life cost.

pay 2 gauge and pay 2 life would have been fine. its at the end of your turn so you dont get imediate use out of it. at the start of the game you'll be a bit low on gauge and mid/late-game the life cost can still hurt, since this isnt a great spell you cant use rune staff to nulify the life cost.
