[QUOTE="LrdApoc, post: 752538, member: 1882"] Okay, I understand the system clearly enough, however it seems that it serves no purpose but to replace the standard magic system. There doesn't seem to be variability, or overcasting involved, for the individual spellcasters. The ability to pump more points to cast metamagic is nice, but do all the base wielders have the same pool of points? It opens the system up for a multitude of class features or feats to boost the points or allow them to be channelled differently. On the point of the counterspell, wouldn't it require the opposing caster to at least pump as many points as the originator to counter?? Level would not matter a whole lot, but it would balance the equation.. to cancel a 42 point meteor swarm, a counterspell would cost 42 points.. lower level casters could not, mid level would be taxed to do it.. equal levels would think twice, but still have a viable option..
