[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9138638, member: 6790260"] The two are inseparable, because there's practically nothing within the Wizard class [I]except[/I] getting more spells or making spells better. That's the problem. Spell design is the only design that has any meaning for the Wizard class, and that's exactly what they intended when they made it.
