I would love to here them. Additionally, if we could discuss the spells I have outlined from PHB as a problem then we could make a completed system! Please add spells that are problematic with endless castings that I missed or take ones away that are not.Basically, I see information gathering divinations as problems and teleportations as problems and permanent alterations and creations as problems.SadrikNegative Caster LevelsEvery negative caster level that a caster has lowers their available magic pool size by 1. If a caster lowers their maximum available magic pool size to zero or below with negative caster levels, he or she becomes unconscious.Spell Point RecoverySpell point recovery transfers spell points from the spent magic pool to the available magic pool. Casters recover all of their spell points after five minutes of uninterrupted time to do their recovery method. They cannot take any other actions while doing this and they gain 1 negative caster level. Divine casters pray and plea with their deity to get their power back, arcane casters draw back their magical energies from around them, innate casters focus their inner strength and psionic casters meditate and rebuild their mental wills.Problematic SpellsWhenever a caster casts a spell that the DM sees as problematic, it takes something out of the caster to do it. To show this, the caster gets a negative caster level, depending on the spell level of the spell.[CODE][B]Problematic Spells ChartSpell    Negative CasterLevel    Levels Gained[/B]0-2    13-4    25-6    37-8    49-Epic    5[/CODE]Recovering Negative Caster LevelsIt takes 8 hours of rest to get rid of all negative caster level.
