Others just need those spellsots.[spoiler= spell example] Example: a wizard at 5th level can prep 8 spells and has 3 1st level slots and 2 2nd level slots per day.  they prep Mage Armor (that can be used at will on self but costs a slot to use as touch), Shield (spell slot) Detect Magic (at will), Comp language (1/short rest then spell slots), Tasha's laugh (spell slot)Augury (at will special: doesn't work if repeated too soon or too similar qustion) Cloud of Daggers (1/short rest then spell slot) Scorching ray (spell slot) [/spoiler]then I would reintroduce the idea of rituals from 4e... spells anyone can learn but wizards learn better but require skill prof and sometimes skill checks and take time (any spell with a 1 minute or more casting time MIGHT go here)then I would take every spell over 5th level and use the warlock Mystic Arcanum idea... starting at 12th level you pick 1 6th level spell you can use once per day all the way up... so 14th 1 7th 16th 1 8th and 18th 1 9th with 20th level capstone being a free recharge as a 1 minute quick ritual of any 1 mystic arcanum you have used...the whole artificer build magic item things, and the sorcerer metamagic and warlock invocations I would rework and merg into specal 'arcane secrets' you get at levels like you get those things... so you can make a meta magic wizard or a crafter wizard ect...I would scale back how many spells have concentration (hey if at 15th level you cast stone skin it should last the hole duration) BUT I would also bring back some of the old 2e draw backs (haste ageing ect)finally I would give more cantrips so a wizard MIGHT end up with like 10 by 20th level... a 20th level wizard with 25 preped spells plus 10 cantrips but only 3 1st level-4th level and only 2 5th level slots... BUT 1 6th spell (not changeable by day but maybe at level up) 1 7th 1 8th and 1 9th per day with the ability to recharge them would mean way less power but the ability to customize would be amazing.</blockquote>
