In exchange of this, well, when you someone waving an obsidian orb you're sure his status as a wizard is pretty much exposed.Sure, this contradicts some of the source material, but, hey, half of a new ruleset, beginning from the nerfing of vancian casting, contradicts old source materiale, so I can live with implements popping out from nowhere in Dark Sun.So, I support this idea, at least until we find something better. I'd still prefer something that recharges spent powers or make them usable without expending them, but until I have a better grasp of the rules this seems the best option so far. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
