[QUOTE="Mirrorrorrim, post: 8996489, member: 7040132"] For this thought, exercise, I was only referring to class and spell level. As an example of how confusing it has been for some, in 4E they tried to make spell levels correlate to class level (via powers), citing one of the confusing things that the word "level" was used in more than one way by spellcasters. My idea was to not change the definition of "spell level" to match "class level", rather to come up with a different word for "spell level" that still felt familiar to "level." . And I know some people don't like the word "Weave" for magic but the D&D Universe is not a generic universal mechanic system. It has its own lore and mechanics as a baseline and throughout the editions, Wizards has been trying to hammer out what their base lore looks like. For example, looking at the Outer Planes in the DMG, and bringing back Planescape, makes it look like they are going back to the Great Wheel rather than the similar World Axis cosmology, but recent lore suggests they might continue to use a variation of the Dawn War with Dragons, Giants, Titans, (and maybe Primordials), Oh My! With that in mind, Wizards has been leaning into using the "Weave" in their examples. I was just capitalizing on that. Other realms can call the weave of Magic what they want, but Wizards looks to be creating a baseline Multiverse that all worlds are a part of. Well, it looks that way to me at least. [/QUOTE]
