Yes it was changed. Both for her and Orlandu (though I don't know why you would ever want Orlandu to use one of these on someone without equipment)

I always took advantage of Meliadoul's ability to equip the wizard robe and went Rune Blade+Wizard Robe and any other +MA items to make Draw Out to a crap ton of damage. That way I have a reliable damage skill, while still being able to break the hell out of any weapons I encounter.
