I'll update the document when I have a little bit more to add to it. Thanks! That's what I was going for in mid to high levels. For low levels, the token wizard is actually a little more powerful, but I tend to think of wizards as being balanced by "too weak at low levels, too powerful at high levels." This is my attempt to balance things out. These are some excellent comments. I am not exactly sure how to handle permanent effects, as no one decided to use them during playtesting. I think it may have something to do with how often NPC wizards cast dispel magic in my campaigns. Off the top of my head, I think I'd say that any spells that cost XP go into the "spent" pool automatically, since they have a different and more permanent cost to them. As far as casting instantaneous spells all day long, there is a slight balancing issue with the time need to recover and recharge the pool. An 11th level wizard with an Int of 24 could cast disintegrate 3 times before having to recharge their pool, which would take the five minutes. They would also have to carry a heck of a lot of lodestones with them<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> . Still, your point is a good one. This is another issue that didn't arise in playtesting, although the suggestion was made about limiting the total number of recharges per day to the GM's campaign encounter levels. In this way, you could limit the caster to 3 or 4 recharges if that was desired. Much to think about!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  Thanks for your EXCELLENT suggestions! --Steve</blockquote>
