IMO wizards are supposed to have op spells. Rathens is strong but I think it's fine. The only issue to me is when multiple wizards use it at once; that wasn't so bad on lower pop but right now I've seen up to five wizards at once, and it can be too much if they coordinate. Wizards are really strong when they work together due to their aoe and inability to hurt each other (mostly), but I don't think that's a problem limited to Rathens.
You can counter the delimbing with a stapler and a bed, both of which can be gotten from a general fabricator and steel sheets. It's not great if you just want to do your job and the wizard keeps comming back to fuck with you, but it's honestly better than other things he can do.
To me the main strong point of the spell is the guaranteed stun, which lets the magic missile catch up to you and the wizard do whatever else they'd like to do to you, but I think that's fine
