[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 974975, member: 307"] [B][/b] The problem isn't that it is hard to pay off. The problem is that it is [i]costly[/i]. In exhancge for casting a "versatile" spell every day, you give up the equivalent of another spell slot on a daily basis. That's not cheap. Your solution assumes that you can schedule downtime. It also assumes that you are not disturbed during down time. Sure, and when your enemy shows up to fight you at the time of [i]his[/i] choosing, just after you have dumped all of your daily spells into the spellpool, you'll be compeltely screwed. (Not unreasonable given the existence of [i]scrying[/i], transportaton magic, and a host of other eavesdroppong and mobility options). Any wizard who runs himself out of spells voluntarily is engaging in some pretty foolish behavior that will likely get him killed before too long. [/QUOTE]
