In Aquerra, wizards are kind of limited as well - they do no gain access to all zero level spells at first level and starting spells are determined randomly (with a system to insure that they do not end with wholly useless spells to an adventurer).  I don't like "articficial" means of gaining more spells - which is to say - until very recently the only way a wizard or witch could learn new spells was by in-game means - as it stands wizards still do not automatically gain new spells to learn every level - instead they must find, trade or purchase them - However, I know allow wizards to gain spells through their own slow careful study (and plan to come up with a similar system for witches.I quote from the Aquerra Player's Guide - Chapter Ten - The Wizard ClassAlso, check out Jana's stats in the "Out of the Frying Pan" Rogue's Gallery thread.</blockquote>
