At 20th level this would be a pool of 28 spell levels, which could be quite a few extra mid-level spells.Also, do you see my point about how powerful these high magic spells are? They can easily shift the course of an encounter, and while I think being able to do them once or twice is fine, having 4-6 of them is just too much. It means for most random encounter "adventuring days" they can use them very freely. I mean, we change things up so what starts as a random encounter turns into a full blown adventure with several encounter before a long rest, but as a DM I don't like to resort to this too often.A single encounter NOVA I am fine with, which for many encounters I consider a single high magic spell. What I don't like is multiple novas between rests.I think restricting them to per adventure might be too harsh, but I know you mentioned giving them more slots, so it might balance out. However, then nothing would stop them from using 2 or more high magic spells in an encounter!From this idea and some of the earlier posts, I am sort of leaning towards the idea that you can only recover one high magic slot per long rest. So, after resting in town for several days, you are full up. But, once you use a slot, you will only get that one back. Use another, and suddenly you are down one likely until the current adventure is over. Use another, and now you are down two, etc.For me, this represents the idea that the caster with ample time to prepare is as ready as possible, but once danger is lurking it becomes harder and harder to replenish those powerful spells. What do you think of that idea? I might be able to go with that one...' Part of my desire for this is just to change the world issue of "why don't high level casters just run everything" 'Yeah, they would IMO.I know in our final endgame for our main campaign we are facing a CR 23 Wizard while multiple high magic. As a DM, I don't see us winning this fight... I know a wizard, especially since we have to face him on his home turf, is going to be nearly impossible to defeat. I haven't seen his info, but I know our DM and our first encounter with him he was so cocky he used a wish spell to return on of our dead comrades to life, just for the fun of it.</blockquote>
