[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7875781, member: 996"] Overchanneling is one of the more evocative things I've seen in D&D magic. I mean, it's something you can actually sorta visualize a mage in cinema or even the broader genre [I]doing[/I] - enduring pain/risking death or even just visibly struggling, to cast a more powerful spell. Usually D&D spells are quick, easy, dependable, and, now in 5e, largely free of risk or even inconvenience. It always seemed to me there was a clear difference in feel, and a subtle difference in mechanics, between 5th-and-lower and 6th-and-higher level spells, going all the way back to 1e. In my own variants back in the day, I called them 'low order' and 'high order' and had a few special rules that differentiated between the two. Heck, I suppose it harkens all the way back to the Dying Earth. [/QUOTE]
