What if there was a hard and fast rule that a wizard could never know more spells than could fit in their spellbook. So 100 pages worth. In 3.5 terms each spell took up a page per level so if each 9th level spell takes up 9 pages and you only have 100 that would solve problems of them having every spell. They may decide they want to know True Resurrection, but then they would have to tear out (rewrite? Idk, something..) their fireball, bears endurance and invisibility in order to get Wish too.Just a thought, a variant of this is something I've been toying around with lately for my OGL game.EDIT: It has two inherent properties too.First, it combats the "have every spell" issue, because as we know it wasn't the fact they could cast high level spells it was the fact they could cast so many and be able to do any spell they learned up until there too.Second, if someone WANTS to be generalized they may tear out fireball to get DBF, if they want to specialize they'll pick up flare, scorching hands, fireball, flaming sphere, wall of fire, and meteor swarm.</blockquote>
