[QUOTE="eyeheartawk, post: 9266161, member: 6727715"] I find the inherent nature of spells in DCC to be a feature and not a bug. Given the huge variance in effect, further modified by mercurial magic, makes no two wizards the same. But more importantly, for me, it makes a high level wizard a questionable occurence. Like, if you've made it to level 7 as a wizard with all the spellburn and corruption you're probably not in the best shape. If you made it at all. I like that. Because of the design of the magic system it allows the fighter to be the best class in that game. And that, is really refreshing. Especially so, because they did without making that fighter use anime fighting magic. It also speaks to me on a thematic level since I'm far more Howard and Vance with my magic preferences than I am the sort of epic fantasy everyone is a caster thing that latter editions of D&D have drifted to over the years. I don't like funnels though. I skip them every time. [/QUOTE]
