Why implement something if it's not done completely? By your words we're getting a false impression of the system because it's not fully done. Whose fault is that?

Disable it until the whole new system is done.

He already gave you an idea:

Your reasoning of "Targeting with the mouse needs to be the default way of aiming since (most) spells don't make sense without aiming." makes little sense to me. The most common spells in my opinion are used without aiming (Restoration, Summon Avatar, Lightning, Icestorm). Bullet and cause wounds are the only major ones that will use targeting.

And think of it this way, is it easier to have targeting from the start or have targeting as an option? The players have told you it's easier to have it as an option.
