Well, I guess if the buff turns out to be too overpowered the mana cost can be increased again from 11 to 11.

While every buff helps, Spinnerette’s damage should be changed from magic/2 +7 to magic + 7 (or even reverted to magic + 5).
The +2 base damage does help when you first get the troop, but wouldn’t it feel depressing when you’re a low level with very limited souls and you finally level up Spinnerette to where it gains another magic point or two and its damage doesn’t go up? It leaves a better lasting impression when a troop’s power actually visually grows.
If you’re worried about power balance of magic vs magic/2, Atlanta, Venbarak, Terraxis (some examples) all have regular magic + x damage and are easily obtainable quickly by playing the game (quest line/ kingdom upgrades). Spinnerette becomes a disappointing purchase very quickly at that point and might become the first thing they remember about Gems of War.

Maybe False Lashes?

Making all the magic/2 troops straight +magic wouldn’t unbalance the game and would make some useless troops somewhat viable again. Flame cannon is only ultra-rare and is full +magic.
