[QUOTE="Spatzimaus, post: 407925, member: 3051"] It's not a bad idea, and it reinforces the "innate" nature of the magic, but there's one small problem, IMHO: if the spell you want is a non-combat one, when exactly would you "need" it? I mean, I want to learn Fabricate. Great spell, has lots of uses (depending on how loosely you read the "raw material" part; if I want to make a pile of toothpicks, can I use your wooden door as the ingredients?), but because of its long casting time, it's not the sort of thing you'll be hoping for in the middle of battle. Or pick any of the 8-hour-casting time divinations. Not the sort of spell you're desparately hoping to manifest. I've never liked the "you level up, you gain a spell!" concept either, but I went with a more traditional "find a teacher or do some research" route, with a big bonus if the spell is thematically linked to the rest of your spells.
