I should not have compared these reserve feats to Diablo II. At least in that game, even the zappy attacks drain your mana, a finite reserve of points. In almost every work fantasy lit, magic is somehow taxing, draining, or otherwise limited in it's use. Even Dr Strange gets tired.The game IS changing, and these feats take it a lot further down that path. If people doesn't want to see it or admit it, fine, they are welcome to their opinions. Just don't try to tell me I'm not entitled to my own.</blockquote>
