Any prepared mage could have scrolls to read there spells from increasing the number of effects they could cast. maybe in a crap dm's worlds but i made my world difficult just because you gained lvl 5 spells doesn't mean you have any or even know where to locate them. and after you locate a place to research them you might have to pay a high price to get to access to the wizards library. not to mention the time and resources i required to scribe it in to your spell book.The reason in most world the mages reigned over powered and left the other members out is the tight grip DM's kept on magical gear. thieves and warriors gained power through equipment. and if a DM doesn't hand it out them it's up to the players and mages to commision the gear required to keep on even grounds.the mages in my games created stuff for other party members. enchantmented their favorite helm. forged power rings.i will keep to mage they seem more useful</blockquote>
