[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 328343, member: 3146"] This is probably not a good idea. If this were to be done, it would allow a wizard to trade, at a minimum, one third level spell for any five first level spells he might need. At 20th level, the wizard could cast 20 first level spells before it would run out. Comparing this to Rary's Memnonic Enhancer which as a 4th level spell permits three specific first level spells to be prepared in advance or one specific first through third level spell to be recalled after being cast, this would be clearly superior. Even being generous and assuming that the Rary's Memnonic Enhancer's flexibility in extending to second and third level spells makes up for the fact that it only works on spells that are prepared in advance, this still grants at least five spell levels to Rary's three. And it only gets better from there whereas Rary's spell stays the same. Now, although I've never seen it in action (hmm maybe [b]because[/b] I've never seen it in action) I think that Rary's Memnonic Enhancer is significantly underpowered for a 4th level spell (I suspect it would be good at third level with a few changes).
