You can still use the spell, but it won't be as useful to you any more in most cases - it is said to have "grayed out" to you. With some spells they simply won't work anymore on monsters that give you experience, like mez. But you get new spells with the same effect to replace them.
I remember reading about an enfuriated illusionist who bought a painfully expensive upgrade to his mez hoping it would keep working - and found it still was no good for him. It just didn't work on lvl x monsters and above.
Don't know about mez don't have that spell but I do know all my grayed out lower level spells still work on all mobs just that they get resisted more then my inline spells do. As in my nuke that is orange to me gets a res about 1 in 6 casts my grayed out one is about 1 out 3.
I think the spell system leaves alot of room to be better. I don't have a problem with having to do upgrades. But god could you make the drops for the upgarde better then 1 in 1 billion of getting the item. And then if thats not bad enough some spells never have a adept 1 drop for them even..
