So for example: A Knight is 5 spaces away. The Schemer can move 5 spaces to take it, but if it doesn't, it can only move 1 space?

That's the idea. Powerwise I figure it falls below the queen, but still has the potential to suddenly attack across the board. The downside being, it's then potentially quite vulnerable as it can only move one square at a time to get away, unless it can attack again.

A glass cannon for sure. I love it!
