The loss of an entire school of magic - let alone two schools - always seemed too severe to me, given the relatively minor bonuses you gained when you specialized. Making prohibited spells just be harder to learn seems much better (granted, I'd add in another penalty, like taking a -1 penalty to your caster level with such spells, but this is still far and away better than just banning them outright).Probably when you're in one of those situations where your spells are expended, or you don't have any useful ones prepared, I suppose. I like it as a fall-back ability so that wizards can now make a relatively useful martial attack, without having to close to melee range.I agree that they should have just broken it down by spell levels/day, but since that's what it works out to anyway, the description problem isn't really an issue.</blockquote>
