Maximize spell costs three extra points per spell level so Fireball, a third level spell, costs nine extra mana points to maximize--I'm still tweaking this).I'm hoping to make my new RPG available later this year online.  This is actually a new campaign/system I plan to submit to Wizards for publication (or any other publisher for that matter).  If there is anyone out there with some experience in this process, I would love to talk to you.  My ICQ is 261053552.  Feel free to IM me.The rest of you, let me know what you think of what I've posted here.  Thanks!</blockquote>
