What you described sounds similar to what they have there (with differences, but you can't have everything):The gods aren't available, so you can't have divine magic (To be precise: There is one god still available, but he's the Enemy and not suitable for Player Charakters, and they really shouldn't be able to play legates at all)Spellcasting is made via Feats (one general Feat to be able to cast spells generally, and then you must get additional Feats for the schools they want access to. 2 Schools - including evocation - are divided: some spells - in the case of evocation, basically the big hitters - are only available on a somewhat higher level)If you want to be a real good spellcaster, you'll get the Channeler class - it's the only Spellcasting class for PC's. You can choose your Key ability, and have slightly different abilities depending on your way to use magic. All spells except those that are only available to clerics and/or paladins are generally available to spellcasters. Channelers get some spells for free, but otherwise you have to pay time and XP for new spells (researching them).Spellcasting is based on Spell Points. You get your key ability bonus in spell points, channelers get their class level as bonus, and some races and heroic paths further increase your power pool. Once you have used up your spell points for the day, you can burn your constitution for spells (and can only regain that damage - called burn - after rest. Not even a wish would help).Some more background on that campaign setting: Magic (as well as weapons, written knowledge, and a lot of other things) are illegal, punishable by death. The legates (the dark god's priests) have entities called Astiraces (Astiraxes?), who can possess animals and sense the use of magic in the vicinity.The material world is surrounded by the Veil which can't be pierced by anything - no interplanar magic (so no teleportation and the like), no gods (so no divine magic), no souls (so the dead have to be dealt with in several ways or they raise again as undead). The only god still around is the one who was cast down by the others and severed the world from the outside. He's the foe and wants nothing less than to destroy the world (and he's winning!)</blockquote>
