Making non evoker/no subclass wiz work, ie this mod and spell shaping

Looking at this mod, seemed a little OP for evoker and turns it into a very one trick class (though wasnt it already); https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/298?tab=description

but I am curious if spell shaping plus this mod (in TB) could turn into something interesting. Like a baseline con/might low res transmuter for aoe CC and dmg.

Questions;

1) how well does spell shaping work? does it really add a lot of depth to the class, ive never used it and the tooltip is vague

2) with the above info and the extra initiative, casts and power levels what non evoker would you build and how would you play it?
