Issue #2) Is there a Runescape"rusty skill" subprogram, where if you haven't trained a skill in a little while, your personality will probably be somewhat slow in the skill for the first bit, until your resource gathering skill rate returns to RS gold normal, and can be again only depending on your skill level and the kind of pickaxe/hatchet you're using?

You're only using it wrong. Magic, very simply, isn't to be used like Range and Melee is. Range and Melee can only hit 1 target at a time, while magical (using Ancients) can hit several targets at the same time. To demonstrate similarity, I'll use a metaphor. Magic is like a real-life atomic bomb. You wouldn't use a nuke as if you would utilize an Ak-47, now do you? No, nukes have been utilized to strike several things at once, and obliterate all of them, while an Ak-47 is made to extract folks.

And that is where most people die when using magic. They attempt to use Magic exactly like they are utilized to using Range and Melee, when, in fact, this is not the best thing to do. You use your benefit, hitting multiple people at once. If you consistently attack a crowd of people, you're very likely to kill them quickly, particularly while using the Ice spells.

Another thing I have seen used rarely is complete Ahrim's and shadow spells. When you do this, you are likely to buy OSRS gold lower the enemy's Attack and Strength levels to nothing, making them incapable.
