Also, in those old days (3.5 and earlier), you had many options to avoid this. The primary avoider was wands. You routinely acquired a wand (or staff) which would give you up to 100 charges in a wand (in 1e and 2e) you could Magic missile 3 missiles every round for quite some time. In 3e you had wands and staffs too. There was no shortage of blasting all the time. The thing with this and where I see one of the issues is they took the wands and made them a class feature. They did not do this with swords and armors for warrior types. Score for casters? Nope. It adds a subsystem to the game where one subsystem (spells) would have been fine without two (Spells and cantrips).</blockquote>
