We already know that "caster level" won't be a thing for spells, and its been strongly suggested that you can prepare spells at different levels for different levels of effect. The last paragraph is totally unnecessary. I know this is following the trend (at least until 4e), but look at how much space that took up for one of the simplest spells in the game! I want the PHB to cover as much ground as possible, not be one third spell descriptions by pagecount (as 3.5e's was.) I'm not a big fan of having 100+ pages of the output from "SELECT * FROM SPELLS". <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/glasses.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt="B-)" title="Glasses    B-)" data-shortname="B-)" />All that information might be there, but I, for one, am over the idea that game information should come in blocks wherever possible. (Wherever needed, sure.) I don't think it actually helps newcomers or casual players. I think brief, concise, plain, mildly type-worded language is easier/quicker. Take, for example, the (evocation) line. How often do we need to know that, and for what purposes? Would it be better to have a list of Evocation Spells, in a module about schools of magic?</blockquote>
