This is very important in the long run as many builds utilize either the passives, or even the active abilities. Especially important are Magicka Controller and Magelight. Magicka Controller increases your Max Magicka and Magicka Recovery by 2% for each Mages Guild ability slotted and you usually slot at least Inner Light on one of your bars, if not even on both bars. It all depends on the build of course, but most builds utilize at least Magelight which is usually morphed into Inner Light.
