Such rains can wash away lifetimes of mystical works, but they may provide our only chance against Lim-Dul's forces. -Gustha Ebbasdotter, Kjeldoran Royal Mage

Wording needs a change because if Removing library from the game is part of the cost there is no way you will be able to draw 10 cards (unless of course this is the point of the spell?).  Otherwise try something like:

Mind Leveler
4UU

Sorcery
"Draw 3 cards and untap all permanents you control"
Kicker UU
If you paid the Kicker cost Draw 7 cards and then remove your library from the game.

Kicker would give you the option of not having to die when you cast it.

I think the idea of the card is that as a cost, you have to remove your library, and then must find a way to refill it; if you do, you get to draw 10 cards and untap everything for just 5 mana.  Get out that feldon's cane, i guess =]

As for power level, it seems like a very tough to use card, in that you need to be able to get at least 10 cards in your graveyard (or in play, in an unlikely case) and a way to shuffle them back in, and even then they kinda have to be 10 cards that do something powerful.  Altho, really, thats probably the easy part.  Seems OK to me, albeit quite powerful if you can get it set up.

The whole point is that, like Leveler, you need some kind of setup to abuse it, or else you just lose. It basically wins you the game if you can find a clever way to set it up, though. Since the library removal is part of the cost, you can use graveyard reshuffling before it resolves, or you could just have shared fate in play. I'm sure there are other options as well.

Ok then, if it is supposed to be like that I don't see any problem with it as is.  Great design concept and totally broken (if you meet the conditions to break it.)

Nice!
