[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 5967702, member: 63"] Maybe some spells, when you cast them, give you the ability to either create one big effect, or to have an at-will power for the spell's duration. So "Invoke Imix the Fire Lord" would either shoot an explosive fireball, or let you fling at-will fire bolts for 5 minutes. Also, depending on how the game balances fighters, I wouldn't mind some sort of way to "gather mana." You can spend a standard action to get one mana. Your caster level determines the maximum amount of mana you can have at any one time. You can cast your spells at their lowest power level at-will, or you can spend mana to make them a little more powerful. Or you can fully expend the spell for its greatest power. This would roughly emulate "encounter" powers, without putting an arbitrary limit like "you can only cast every 5 minutes." If you want to, you could cast encounter powers every other round by taking turns charging your mana and then casting. [/QUOTE]
