Im still not following. O_o
There are 3 options ... Auto, Ask and Disabled ... what else would you add? o_O

Its not automated like:
If "enemy cast Magic Missile" & "on me" then "cast Shield" else "cast counterspell" else "do nothing". laugh
I have heared some simmilar thoughts in the past, but you would need to give there sooooo many combination, that would be horrible game. :-/

Its more like:
"Check possible reactions" > "Check their status"
If "Ask" > ask.
If "Auto" > use.
If "Disabled" > do nothing.

The only question that puzzles me tho is if you will be able to use two different reactions at same time ... and have (for some unknown reason) both set for Auto ... wich option would game pick? O_o
In my honest opinion the cheaper should be choosen ... for myself loosing precious resources is not good experience. laugh

I know, but it seems to me that our suggestions are not so different after all. o_O

Feel free to corect me:
You want Mod A that could be used in one situation ... for example when fighting with weak enemies, where you dont need to spend valuable resources.
And Mod B that could be used in other situation ... for example when fighting boss, where any resource is welcomed advantage.

In my suggestion Mod A is Auto ... and Mod B is Ask.
If you get to enemies you dont want to spend Spellslots for Shield at all ... you simply click on the shield, and it switch to disable ...
If you get to enemies you do want to spend Spellslots for Shield at all times ... you simply click on the shield again, and it switch to auto ...
If you get to enemies mixed of both previous groups (like Spider Matriarch and her babies) ... you simply click on the shield for third time, and it switch to ask ...

So you have full control over your reactions ...
