If you're having a problem with <X> being too powerful for game balance,
why not just lessen the effects of the powerful parts? That seems to be a
more direct solution than making up new rules to effectively harm those
using the too powerful parts of the game. For instance, change the drain
on spells from (F/2 + x) to (F + x), and/or change the resistance number
from F to F/2... there are ways to lessen the power of a mage without
making his life an utter hell.

In using the grounding thingy, mages would have a shorter lifespan than
most orcs or trolls... At least Runner mages. Corp mages would probably
be the ones lessening the population of Runner mages.
