A caster cannot learn a spell of a certain level unless he already knows a spell of the level below it.In order to cast a spell, the caster must make a roll based on his skill with that school, against a dc that increases according to the power of the spell.Each school is color coded and the related color is used when Detecting Magic which is an ability the caster can use at will, instead of a spell.Like Medallions, there is no published spell list, but a lot of the CoC spells made the cut.There is no artificial limit on the amount of spells a character can cast. They can cast until they drop.The reason I didn't go with the rules from CoC is that I don't want to drive my casters insane, I just want to establish a level of tension that the Sanity rules help provide. Unlike CoC, not all of the spells will have a sanity point cost. The actual cost of the spell depends on the school and level of the spell. Some schools are less apt to drive the caster into a mental breakdown than others.I attached the spellcasting rules from Medallions that Drew put up on his storyhour, if you want to take a closer look at the system he devised. It really is pretty nifty.As I said before, I haven't settled on a  psionic system yet. The only thing I know is that I want the two systems to have totally different feels to them.</blockquote>
