You know how they fixed the fact that no one took the alchemist feat? they created the alchemist theme... do the same thing for practiced study... Call it what you will but it would go something like: Level 1: You gain the Practiced Study Feat, You also know one first level study. You can perform one study/day without expending component costs. (exclude studies that result in permanent stuff that can be exploited) Level 5: You gain knowledge of an additional study of up to 5th level,...

Level 5: You gain knowledge of an additional study of up to 5th level, you can now perform two studies/day without expending component costs.
Level 10: you gain a +2-4(i'm leaning towards 4 but it may be OP) for any skill checks required for your studies.

I acutally use a battle-mat with dry-erase pens. It measures 42" x 36", reversable, and has both squares and hex 1" boxes. If I am not being lazy, I will draw out the major maps on one side and smaller encounter based items on the other. Works rather well...
