Hopefully, as Remathilis says, we'll see some spells having a sort of "multi-level" construction a la psionics.I don't think we'll see actual spells being on an per-encounter basis, but rather there being some limited ability to regain spell-levels without actually resting (i.e. an equivalent to "mana regen").As others have said, we'll probably see feat and/or talent-tree-type abilities at any level where you don't gain a spell level, so that should be fine.I expect we'll see more "built-in" metamagic, perhaps as part of talent trees, perhaps even as skills. I also expect we'll see more spells with varied casting times (rather than most spells being 1 round and the rest might as well just be "can't cast in combat").I'll also be surprised if we don't see a Warlock-style "energy blast"-type ability to keep Mages in the fight when they're out of spells, or perhaps, more interestingly, some "debuffing", "countermagic" or "CC"-type abilities which don't require spell slots.As to whether Vancian magic goes entirely, well, I hope so, but I kind of doubt it.</blockquote>
