[QUOTE="Merlion, post: 2484943, member: 10397"] I dont see the difference if thats what you think. Except that trying to create a single spell that somehow scales itself is going to be a lot more complicated than writting a spell chain within a spell level system. Personally, I prefer lots of different spells to a few bland spells, just like I prefer lots of base classes (and prestige classes along with them) to a few very basic classes. Although I agree that there should be more spells that have more than one use option. Also, the Arcana Unearthed magic system does adress this somewhat. Take Invisibility for instance...theres just 1 Invisibility spell, and its Heightened version is basically like Greater Invisibility in D&D Likewise, a Diminished Sorcererous Blast is somewhat akin to Scorching Ray, the regular version is Fireball (but with any element) and the Heightened version does more damage and can be an ebery type (acid, fire, sonic, cold, electricity) or an element (air fire water earth) [/QUOTE]
