[QUOTE="timbannock, post: 8815780, member: 17913"] I'd argue that makes it a stronger contender, because IME the Realmsian archmagi and mythal-based magic (as well as Spellfire and all sorts of oddities that are probably not in the Grey Box, to be fair) rarely follow the established rules. Therefore, they seem to beg "NPC exceptions" or more realistically just non-player facing stat blocks and spell descriptions. YMMV of course, but the protagonists are rarely exceptionally high level PC types. Even Drizz't doesn't really follow the established rules, but is also clearly not exceptionally high level at the beginning of his series. (High level meaning 10+ in this case.) [/QUOTE]
