Nearly forgot about the Glamour and ... other illusion specialization. Those almost done yet? =D
And I'd love to see more Music specialization abilities. There are so little now compared to when I was a mage =(

Yea environment is one of the most useless skills I HAD to trans. Being that you have to have trans environment to see traps people have placed. (People who have lower environment skills than you cannot disarm your traps, nor can they see them)
I would say add more skills into the skillsets that are floating around practically uselessly. Hunting/Tracking is one of the worst guild skillsets there is, and Environment/Riding some of the other winners of crappiest skills to have trans for minimal use of skills in the set.
But stealth/spy/sneak/assassin skills that would be nice, fleshing them into the hunting/tracking skillset would be really neat (maybe some power using cool ones) and then putting nuetral utility ones in maybe environment or discipline or discernment

Reworking tertiary skills (making Astroloy/Healing/Nihilist Hexes/Dreamweaving/ect) used more. It really gets old got "Mage... psionics. Bard, not illusion, Wiccan, hexes, Guardian, Astrology..." 
Flush out those other ones.

This is how I perceived the "Guardian" Archetype.
A clever balance of Physical and Magical (in some cases, magical considered spiritual) regarding the uses of either weaponry, magic, or slightly enhanced weaponry via means of magic from the user. I think it'd be relatively interesting to see someone wielding a sword and either imbuing it with a sort of spell or chant giving it an slight increase to either damage, precision, or speed (like Runelore with Achaea. Laguz and such, etc) or giving it an slight advantage using a sort of dual attack. In this case, either imbuing said weapon or two, and letting access to having the use of dual weaponry, or attack with one weapon and maybe attack with something like Cosmicfire from Cosmic. This would require some divying and of course "clever" manueverability with damage and eq/bal structures, but I think it'd make things abit more interesting in my eyes. It's all based of a personal opinion, but I like the fact that if I'm low on mana, or don't want to spend too much, that you could switch to a melee weapon. We see that Warriors and Mages focus on two aspects that are akin to their statures, but the Guardian to me seems like it just focuses more so with a Mage aspect then anything else.

Yeah that is basically giving warriors ents with passive blackout, sign me up!!! I will be a celestine then woot!! But seriously, cosmics have plenty of instakills in their arsenal. They also can wear chainmail, and hold a sword, which is fine. But they are set up to a different type of magic, cosmic magic. They basically are mages, the just aren't elemental mages, they are cosmic mages.
