(gotta hide the evidence) Come up with an internally consistent system for creating spells and determining their power and level. SHOW THAT SYSTEM IN THE PHB. And let players create their own spells if they want.   Put sample spell lists in the PHB for each school and let those be commonly known spells in the world.   Include consequences that make magic dangerous the way warhammer systems do but not quite as bad as call of cthulu. Something that makes low level magic routine for powerful casters but higher level stuff risky.   Take feat style powers associated with each school of magic and make them at-will powers for magic users. Something cantrip level power or maybe up to 3e 1st level spell strength so that wizards arent throwing darts or cowering behind their stick after they use their one crappy Magic missile spell.     Thats how I would do it if i had to use vancian slots.</blockquote>
