Kinda hope so (because I don't enjoy being misunderstood).Given my formulation, "success" in this instance is "casting the spell and not forgetting it (and not having it disturb the fabric of reality)." The enemy responding tactically is a natural consequence to any action, and I honestly wouldn't expect complete success at casting the spell to remove the possibility of it (as in, I wouldn't object to it happening on a 10+), but any of the other two consequences would feel like failure, because I'm getting something I don't want as a result of the check.I never cared much for Vancian casting--it was one of the first things I worked to houserule away, in 3E to the point of outlawing sorcerers and having everyone else work a lot more like 5E works now. Spell slots--as a way to model the ability to direct spell energy--never bothered me the same way.You aren't coming across as aggressive--at least not to me. I completely get how extreme bafflement can generate strong reactions.</blockquote>
