[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5837961, member: 54877"] I'm not sure how easily it would be to rationalize it in game, but you could always go with a limited token system that works less and less well the more of your "front-loaded" resources you use, but accumulates more frequently as those resources are used. Take a typical wizard. He has access to some kind of arcane token that puts some extra oomph into any "at wills" he might possess. When all of his daily spells are prepped and loaded, his "arcane attention" is at its peak. He can get maximum effect out of those tokens, maybe even doubling his damage or other effects with those at wills. But his ability to build up such might is limited, because he already has a lot of it devoted to those daily spells. So he only gets maybe 2 such tokens per fight. But every daily power that is gone is less focus on power, and more power on flow. Use all of his dailies, and he may only get 1.5 effect from at wills, but now those tokens are flowing freely. You can use your "mana flow" to maintain what you have ready and peaked, but as you can release what you have ready and peaked, your "mana flow" increases. [/QUOTE]
