Who knows what a magic missile damage is like if its like guns we have a pretty good model ;-)If somebody lacked the focus requirement to do there most significant abilities.(kind of like losing levels) that would be fatigue like instead of brain damage and still as you point out be possible to model with abilities that  quit being useable. I think losing abilities is not to my taste, though I can see it done by turning over a card on the table or specifying a maximum level you can use.</blockquote>
