Here's an idea I'm offering for feedback:Magic-users have four broad scopes of magic that they can use.Trivial: Magic of trivial scope can generally be used whenever and wherever the magic-user wishes. Particularly potent trivial spells may require some resource expenditure, or perhaps the possession of a required focus, but most trivial spells will not.Limited: Magic of limited scope may only be used a limited number of times between character downtime, or some other similar restriction. Such spells will usually have a powerful effect - one such spell should be able to decide the outcome of a significant encounter.Singular: Magic of singular scope will usually only be available once per adventure - probably due to the effort required to make use of it. Singular magics are, usually, best employed at the climax of an adventure - rat bastard DMs will seek to get PCs to use up Singular magics prematurely.Epic: Magic of epic scope requires effort equal to a quest to enact. The effects are generally considered worth it, however. As long as someone doesn't interfere and ruin everything.So, thoughts? Traditional spell valences would be in the 'limited' category.-Albert</blockquote>
