How might you portray a lich or a member of the Seelie Court for example; they have wholly different motivations, and will say or do different frightening things to obtain them.8) The feeling I sense contributing to this, is that players who're familiar with how magic/spell casting is handled in D&D, are tired of it.9) This ties into (8) to a degree; less often spell casting means less need for gobs of magic resistance (tm).11)  Also tied to (8); here I'd advocate transforming "bad" spells into mundane knacks to help fill out the moving parts quota desired by players, w/o becoming too complicated.</blockquote>
