But there are concepts that it works really well for that you cannot do with traditional magic classes.Each sphere is a themetic grouping of effects - Destruction for example. Every sphere gives you a basic ability that you can do at will, with no expenditure of magic points.  In Destruction it is a force blast that does 1d4/every 2 levels ranged touch.A spell point spent makes it 1d4 / level.  Spellpoints for a standard starting character would be in the 3-5 range.Then there are "talents" that add to the basic effect - in destruction you can shape it into a Burst at range (Fireball), or make it elemental instead of force damage (fire makes it 1d6 instead of 1d4 and can set things on fire).I wizard gets a sphere or choice of talents 3 for 2 levels (so 1/2/1/2). Sorcerers get 1. Partial casters like bards have less. Caster level is an interesting mechanic. There is not Arcane/Divine split, but the rules make it easy to add them in.I really like it.</blockquote>
