[QUOTE="Agent Oracle, post: 3041230, member: 40076"] Hmmm... So severely cut the number of spells for a spellcaster... BUT, make certain "universal" abilities into simple "I can do this anytime" magical effects... Maybe... maybe... if Wizards had both a pool of "magic points" AND specific spells they memorized... For in-play example: Orcs. Pie. You kno the drill. THe modern wizard says "I cast Magic Missile" and marks off thatthey have cast it., The FUTURE wizard says "I cast Magic missile using 1 mana point." and reduces his mana count by one. Later in the campaign... (orc pie factory, you know) The Modern Wizard says "We should scout around. I'm going to cast two spells on myself, first, I'm going to cast Mage Armor, then I'll cast Invisibility. The mage armor is just in case everything goes pear-shaped." The FUTURE wizard says "We should scout around. I'm going to channel 4 mana points into my Arcane Defensive Discipline, and then cast invisibility. The Arcane Defense is just in case everything goes pear-shaped. Or something... I might be overcomplicating it. i'd really like to know where he goes with this... [/QUOTE]
