Mana system<a href="http://www.d20reviews.com/jagged/umbragia/v03-sorcery.html" target="_blank">http://www.d20reviews.com/jagged/umbragia/v03-sorcery.html</a>(2) Magic as a skill?  (can use magic as often as you like, but each time you must make a (or several) skill rolls, and failure might have consequences, like temporary ability damage, fatigue, backfire, etc)May the Force be with you<a href="http://www.enworld.org/d20reviews.asp?sub=yes&where=currentprod&which=SWAR" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/d20reviews.asp?sub=yes&where=currentprod&which=SWAR</a>Sleeping Imperium complete psychic<a href="http://www.sleepingimperium.rpghost.com/d20downloads.htm" target="_blank">http://www.sleepingimperium.rpghost.com/d20downloads.htm</a>(3) Unknown spell capacity (each time you cast, roll a die with a modifier based on the power of the spell and the number and type of spells you have cast so far.  If you fail, you 'burn out' for the day, but if you keep making your rolls, you can continue to cast.)It seems really hard to balance such a system IMHO(4) All-item-magic (all magic is stored in items like wands, staves, rings, but only members of the 'Wizard' class can create and use these items.  Like the 'scientist' class from Pulp d20 in Polyhedron)Master Smith PrC from Magic of Rokugan might provides a good baseline to produce such a system<a href="http://www.enworld.org/d20reviews.asp?sub=yes&where=currentprod&which=MAOR" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/d20reviews.asp?sub=yes&where=currentprod&which=MAOR</a>(5) Body Fuel (spells, instead of using slots, deal subdual, or ST (or DX, or CN, or even mental attribute) damage, which must be recovered through rest)Chaos Magic<a href="http://www.enworld.org/d20reviews.asp?sub=yes&where=currentprod&which=ENCM" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/d20reviews.asp?sub=yes&where=currentprod&which=ENCM</a>(6) There are no spells, only (Su) abilites usable at will by 'sorcerors'.  These would be weak at low levels, but could be more powerful or versatile at higher levels. I would be interested in such a system (it'll produce nice NPC without hard to keep spell list).(7) A combination, or 'other': please add your suggestion to the list, for me and others to comment on !!!Ok!(8) Golem creation magic<a href="http://www.enworld.org/messageboards/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5050" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/messageboards/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5050</a>(9) Magic as scienceAnyone can produce any effect given the good components (works great with minor magic and plants, with fireball spell it gets ugly)(10)Video Games Magic like:Amulet wich produces different effect for different classes, for example a fighter might get the flaming ability on his weapon with a fire amulet at level 5, and flaming burst at level 7, while the wizard get Fireball at level 5 usable two times per day and four times per day at level 7 with a new fire spell.</blockquote>
