While I agree that once you upgrade the spell, you no longer have the older lower power spell, that wasn't what I was addressing.I was thinking of this scenario: You have a +3 weapon, and you get it upgraded to a +5. Do you pay the full cost of a +5 weapon? Nope. You only pay the difference between the two.Now, for about 10 seconds there, I was kicking around this house rule scenario: You have an epic spell that deals 40d6 points of fire damage. You want to create a new spell, identical to the first, but with the exception that it deals 60d6 instead of 40d6. Do you pay the full cost of the 60d6 spell? No. You pay the difference. After all, the majority of your research was done on the previous spell, so you can just apply about 70% to 80% of what you previously learned by creating the original spell.Anyways, that's what I was talking about, and kicking around, for about 10 seconds. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
