Take away the ability for non-casters to purchase the magical abilities of their choosing/price range, and you tilt game balance in favor of the classes that get magic powers as class abilities.If you remove 'item shopping' from the game, you need to also restrict spell access for the casters. The system assumes a fairly high degree of player choice when it comes to equipping character with supernatural assets. Restrict that in one place and you end up having to restrict it across the board.</blockquote>
