Among other things, at-wills can be juiced up with spell points.3) Each spellcaster has a list of spells memorized which they can use for as long as they have spell points to fuel them. Classes that "just know" their spells might even have, instead of more spell points, a larger list of spells that they can cast each day, but of course are limited by not being able to switch their spells.You could, in fact, fake a Vancian spellcaster with such a system by ruling that you had to pre-plan what your spell points were going to be used for each day.</blockquote>
