This doesn't allow you to cast another spell either; you've effectively lost a standard action (or however long the casting time is).You also need 8 hours of rest (usually this means sleep, of course, but there are elves and all that...) every night, after which the CDs are reset to simply 10+ the spell level, as normal. If you do not get 8 hours of rest, then the DCs should not be reduced as much [I'm in a hurry and I forgot to work out this part of the system; I'll be back Sunday night to figured out a reasonable solution to this however].That, in a nutshell, is how this system works.Absolutly; this is just an idea I am flinging around, trying to get feedback for.This is not a simple system, as the Vancian system is; this is complicated, admittantly. But Indeed when I thought it up way back when, I was intrigued myself with it and have tinkered with it slightly (such as adding in a spellbook) in order to get what I've presented yesterday.As always, I'd love more feedback <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=":)" />Also, should Memorization possibly be a new skill to use in this system?</blockquote>
