He running WLD and said we could "only" use stuff from WotC.There are certainly some limits on it which make it less powerful than some claim.  Sure, a spellfire wielder can store up a lot of energy and blast away.  But one or two powerful blasts and he's done for the day (with spellfire, anyway).  And the healing benefit is pretty tame (and a requires a touch, to boot).  So, one or two decent sized blasts in a battle and he's on to other tactics, unless an enemy charges him up--which only works if he readies an action to absorb the energy.  So, if the characters does nothing but ready the action, he'll be able to absorb more spell energy.  And then, on a later round, blast away again.  If he isn't being targeted by spellcasters, well, then the spellfire wielder can't do anything once the energy is gone.  That's a pretty significant drawback.  And unlike counter-spelling, where you don't have to ready the action if you have the right feat (Reactive Counterspell), there's no "official" feat to make the energy absorbing easier for a Spellfire Wielder.But just wait til my Pixie Warmage takes the Spellfire Channeller prestige class!</blockquote>
