Let's see:
*Spells usable on a per day basis
*Huge charts of spells known and spells per day of each level
*Magic that doesn't drain or harm the user
*Magic that always works and always works as intended
*Assumed access to all kinds of high-power spells by virtue of level
***
Nope, I wouldn't miss any of those things.
Magic should be magical. It should be hard to cast, dangerous to everyone, and it most certainly should not be balanced by a daily allotment of spells. (4e did not fix anything by giving quasi-Vancian magic to all classes, even those without magic).
I don't mind seeing some form of Vancian magic pop up as an option, but I want magic taken in a new direction.
