[QUOTE="Kafkonia, post: 2895098, member: 40261"] I was thinking the other day that there are divine equivalents of the sorceror-style spontaneous casting (Favoured Soul) and wizard-style book-based casting (Archivist) but there's no arcane equivalent of the cleric's "pray for spells" variety. So I've put this together as kind of a thought experiment. My chief concern is that it may be overpowered by granting too much versatility to the arcane caster...
