[QUOTE="DammitVictor, post: 8299066, member: 6750908"] I have been thinking about the same thing myself, in relation to [I]Spells & Magic[/I], which has a spellpoint casting system which can be applied to 3-4 alternative spellcasting systems (each) for Mages and Priests. It also includes things like fixed (prepared) versus free magics, and different spell point costs based on the Minor/Major access for Priests. So I kinda want to have the Arcanist (PF)/Wizard (5e) type Mage, who can free cast from their spellbook if they're willing to pay extra. (And can burn spells into their memory to [I]always[/I] have them fixed/prepared, for proficiency slots.) Probably shoot for some kind of "focused specialist" system. The default "priest" type magic is Warmage-style, where Priests cast all of their spells free-cast, but can take signature spells like Mages. Take a page from [I]Rolemaster[/I] and have Mentalists as "spellcasters", probably looking a lot like Sorcerers, and kinda like a cross between AD&D Monks and [I]Spells & Magic [/I]Monks. Bards would use the Mage rules, but their spell list is composed of a mish-mash of Mage and Priest-- think Song Mage + Druid. Then there's... all the setting-specific stuff I could get into, the race-as-class stuff. Dragon Shamans. Shugenja, Sha'ir. Witches and Warlocks. Beyond the varying degrees of fixed and free magic, there's also stuff for different kinds of costs and risks associated with magic, that I could attach different values to different classes.
