My guess is using X type of spells will make you increasingly "unstable", so you need to use Y type of spell to "stabilize" yourself. Maybe this is ranged vs melee, or large aoe vs pinpoint accuracy. Either way it lets you spam but you have to balance your skill usage in doing so.
Another possibility is that using any kind of spell makes you "unstable" I.E. adds greater and greater risk if you spam constantly. Unlike a mana system, you can push past your normal spending limits, but maybe some consequences would result, like chance of spell backfiring on you, and stunning you or sapping health.
A third and overly complicated option would be to create 4 spheres of magic, using one sphere to the exclusion of others pushes you far to the edge, with some kind of consequences. So you'd then have to balance your use of magic across 4 different types, with 2 opposed. [E.G. Fire vs Water, Air vs Earth.)
