Is this a reasonable 2nd to 3rd edition extrapolation/translation?

[QUOTE="Blacksad, post: 258400, member: 1359"] Simply, no it's not a reasonable translation, the arcane age rules were here to extend the power of mages in a times in the forgotten realms, and they just extended the cap, IMO it wasn't meant to be extended (the only level 12 spell allow you to become a god, a level 10 spell allowed to lift a mountain). In the arcane age a level 40 arcanist used a system similar to psion, and were able to throw 450 level of spell, with the maximun level at 12, so they could launch several level of 12, 11 or 10 level spell, while a level 40 wizards can only launch 4 level 10 spell. If you want a parallel with 2nd edition, you can use the true dweomer from high level campaign, it is the same thing as the current 10 level spell. If you want to extrapolate the level of the spell, I think you should work with the feat that give you extended slot. i.e. the first time you take it, it gives you a level10 spell slot and one of every other lower level, then a level 11 slot, etc... You then just have to compare the max damage you can get from such a spell slot VS the max damge you can get from a given DC (basicaly reproducing the spell). [/QUOTE]
