So essentially you are giving up a free spell slot at every level with the loss of two schools, for a free spell slot at your highest level and a free spell in your spell book every level.If we price these out to say 7th level we see that pearls of power would cost us 30,000gp vs 16,000gp - and spell slots are actually better than pearls of power and therefore ought to be worth more. 7 spells added for free account for another couple of thousand. So we are talking about gaining 12,000gp of value - at 7th level - by giving up two schools. I would - and do - argue that this is therefore balanced against a specialist wizard. It is not balanced against a normal generalist, but it is not trying to be.I've posted the write up in the RG anyway, so look it over and see what you think.</blockquote>
