[QUOTE="Coredump, post: 1464296, member: 6939"] hmmm.... personally, I think that the unweaving/weaving should come at a definite cost. Do you feel that 3 3rd level spells are worth less than one 4th level spell? (in general, not in specific situations) The 'core' method was definitely a cost. (one 3rd level gained for a 4th level lost), but an expensive one. It doesn't have to be that expensive, but it should be a cost. I don't really see giving up a 4th for 2 3rds as much of a hardship. I would reduce it to equal levels, or perhaps level plus one. (so a 5th could be a 3 and 2) As for weaving, the problem is higher level, I think 3 3rds and a 2nd is worth much less than the 9th level I can get. Or even the 2 3rds and 2nd for the 6th level. While two levels 'wasted' may be enough of a cost, a mechanic saying you can only weave 2 spell slots may limit it enough. (So, for the 9th, you need a 6 and 5, or 7-4, or 8-3.) this stops the ability to give up a bunch of useless slots for the powerful spell.
