Spell slots can achieve this fairly well, agreed, but still, the 9 levels of quantisation and the maintenance of the lowest level slots is unnecessary. But even if we keep that, your spells could be arranged in a pyramid, 1x9, 2x8, 3x7, 4x6 and that's it. I could come up with a full scheme I'm sure.</blockquote>
