(2/level starting at 4th)  The system makes high level spellcasters weaker, but they are pretty good at low levels.  To fine-tune it a bit, a caster can cast a number of cantrips for free each day equal to the ability modifier for their casting stat.  For example, a wizard with an 18 intelligence can cast 4 cantrips for free.  Sorcerers get +2 spells at each level.  Bonuses from specialization or ability scores are also flat bonuses, not point based.  I've never really worked out all the details of the system, but I like it anyways. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
