However, players can easily abuse this system. Because everyone now has so many skill points, they can simply spend most of them on non-spell skills, and max out one or two seeds. These seeds will probably contain spells like Magic Missile and Fireball. Now you get imbalance.The solution that I forsee to this problem is cutting down on the number of seeds. Radically, so that the usefulness of a single spell seed is equivalent to the usefulness of a single mundane skill. I made 8 arcane skills, and 5 divine skills, while giving wizards and druids 5 base skill points/level and sorcerors and clerics 3/level, as well as implementing the requisite ability system.</blockquote>
