An end to buff-scry-teleport is very welcome, as is "I wake up and cast all my daily buffing spells" biting the bullet.The wand/orb/staff idea is also something I support - allowing Wizards to gain some more flavour and difference from one another, allowing magic items to be more of a key, giving me immediate ideas for villains (if the PC always uses a wand, bring a series of other wand-using wizards against him and make him prove himself!).Not sure about having to wait for later books to use other classes with other powers, but depending on the SRD situation, that might not be too bad.</blockquote>
