with reaching a new Global Level you gain xp to purchase abilities;

except at 1st GL, you cannot spend more than two Levels at a time to purchase Abilities

say you want a specialization in Long Sword ( 2 points ) ( from Ad&d 2E PO )
===> that costs you -4 ( Base ) + 2 ( proficiency ) = -2 ( 125 xp )
if you want another point in Wpn prof you reach -1 ( 250 xp )

about Spell Casting Ability :
you add your SCA Level to anyone of your Spell Casting Classes,
with
Spell Casting Classes giving you the highest Spell Level you can cast from any Class,
and SCA + SCC = Spell Casting Level

then you have a Level in each of the 9 Spell Levels,
with the fact that you cannot have three SL 3 and two SL 2 :
you must have at least the same Level in any SL like in 1/1/1/1 or 2/2/1/1 or 5/5/4/4/3/2/2 etc

( of course at this time the system is totally unbalanced )

Hit Points : sum of Hit Points Level ( Level 1 grants you 1 hp, Level 2 gives 2 more hp ( total 3 ) , Level 5 means 15 hp for a cost of -5 +5 ===> 0 ( 500 xp ) )

THAC0 : with every six levels of THAC0 you gain an extra 1/2 attack
