It was soundly rejected in the playtests for that exact reason.Though to be fair, they could have gone even farther. Make wild shape a series of spells druids cast for free. Make warlock evocations free at will spells. Maybe channel divinity could be a spell clerics get a free casting of. You could also change many of the monster abilities into a spell equivalent (vampire charm casts charm person, doppelgangers use polymorph). We could make spells the currency of power like feats in PF or powers in 4e.</blockquote>
