[QUOTE="Kisanji Arael, post: 2790503, member: 20056"] The second area, which I already have a rough draft of here, is my complete overhaul of how the Wizard casts his spells. The Wizard has the ability to cast a number of arcane spells. She is dependant on two abilities for her magic, Charisma and Intelligence. Charisma determines the forcefulness with which she casts spells, while Intelligence determines her ability to continually grasp difficult concepts.
