I would assume it works much like it does now, only instead of preparing your slots for the day, you prepare what at-wills/encounters/and dailies you want for the day. A Wizard might eventually know most of the spells in the game, that wouldn't mean he could use them all.

Maybe, my only point though, was that it isn't like the designers were saying to themselves "Why don't we make the magic system more like Harry Potter's". If the new system makes it easier for people to run a Potterverse campaign, great, I have no problem with that. I have no problem with Harry...

You have to look at the big picture though, sure it costs more to change your name than the $50 savings, but think of the benefit! Your name will be & ! I mean, isn't that worth it even without the promotion?
