I do think Fighter levels should count for something though, since Wizard levels count towards your attack modifier. It always comes down to this problem of proficiencies though - it's ok to let a Wizard have +6 to attack because it'll only be with their staff, or a sword if they invest a feat. It's not ok to let Fighters cast spells because they get all the spells, every single one of them. Now, Fighters are still better with swords because of class features, so what we need to do is make Wizards better with spells because of class features, allowing Fighters access to them in some rudimentary way. A potential start might be bringing back the 10+spell level requirement on your casting ability score. Then change the table to grant just 1 spell per spell level (so at 20th you have 1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1) and a class feature for Wizards that gives you more slots for actual Wizard levels. You could also restrict spell schools, so that you only pick up 'proficiency' in one school when you multiclass, restricting your magical breadth.</p></blockquote><p></p>
