so yea tell me what you think

I do like them, iv always thought about skills such as Divert and things (Spell Turn would be awsome if you are a "Tank").
I feel the Spell Snare/Delay is alittle unfair since theyre both mesmer spells so imagen using them both in turn before the other runs out, and i gather Spell Snare would HAVE to be an elite.
Soul swap interesting but.. too easy to abuse it, Okay il take that, hex someone then spam Necro sac-health spells and then illusion of weakness until they die.. :S
Illusion of friendship iv also thought about, but i love the twist you added at the end, unable to use spells on yourself aswell as others not being able too, very nice.

All in all some really good skills there, alittle bit of evening out and they'd be awsome! ^^

well spell snare does not have to be elite cause it has a heavy draw back of getting pimp slapped by the spells you held back AND it holds back friendly spells too so you dont get any healing from monks and a war kills you :P.

delay would not be able to work with spell snare because one it only stops one spell and two it stops hostile spells that target you where as the spells from spell snare would be considered not cast by enemies... sooo i think those two are fine as they are.

and soul swap isnt too broken either cause its take damage not lose life so saccing yourself as a nec or with IoW would do nada cause its life lose not dmg, but im thinking of removing the conditions thing cause one it dont make sense and two its a lil too strong....

but yea thanks for the feedback
