[QUOTE="pdzoch, post: 6886265, member: 80982"] It is not about how many spells a wizard has, it is about having the right spells for the situation. A restriction of resources does not appear to be a restriction on magic capacity for a wizard. At best it is a restriction of finding magic to transcribe or components to cast a spell. But a wizard could use an arcane focus to avoid most component restrictions. As for limited magic to transcribe, then I feel it is the responsibility of the DM to develop a way in which spells can be studied -- an arcane phenomena could be a source of a spell, or a mystic relic, a ancient tome of an explorer, hieroglyphics on a ruin, etc. Also, I think it is the responsibility of the DM to ensure only worthwhile spells are actually presented in such extreme conditions (which makes sense as unuseful spells probably wouldn't be in the environment in the first place). Nothing is worse than finding a spell of [I]water breathing[/I] in the desert. Otherwise, i would stick to RAW. i do not think you intent is to change the rules of the game, just the environment/setting. [/QUOTE]
