Is it intended to require the mana prep up front followed by an almost immediate pulse for the same amount? It seems kind of counterintuitve, to start it, you basically have to have double the prep available at the start.

Universal solvent seems pretty weak in its current form, I have a hard time even hitting things I can kill easily with other spells. By easily I mean 1 shot in DR2 and 2 shot in DR3. I cast it with 50 mana initial cast and raw channeling. What good is a spell that can't hit what you hunt at level with other spells?

How much TM? I am under the impression USOL and SV have a rather large % based accuracy penalties. I have a feeling they are not capped and thus at higher skill almost never hit anything at level.
