Besides, is a 3rd level spell 3 times as good as a 1st level spell? Maybe sometimes, but not very often, and that's where the pricing problem becomes very apparent, particularly when spells aren't directly numerically comparable.I never said anything about making them more complex. Besides, flexibility and complexity are entirely unrelated. And how is Level+X remotely harder to remember or use? The game is looking to have a lot of spell levels, presumably the standard 9 (has anyone said otherwise?), and that makes a spell point system a nightmare to balance. Spells tend to increase in power exponentially, and there's a hell of a lot of variation in individual levels even. You need to have the pool grow in order to actually allow you to cast all the spells you need, but it needs to cap out at one point, prior to max level, otherwise you'll just end up spamming high-level spells.</blockquote>
