If you want to create a game that is an imbalanced mess full of trap choices and in which no one who can understand the implications of the rules plays spellcaster, and people who don't understand are constantly disappointed by wasting their choices on useless things, then you just should say so. Is that your goal? If it is, grats, perfect success!It won't produce Lankhmar feel as in Lankhmar spellcasters exist. So do you care about emulating Lankhmar, or do you care about shoehorning your specific rule in? Because you certainly don't get Lakhmanr with it, but you can do Lankhmar without it. Hell, there literally is Arcane Trickster in PHB which produces pretty decent Mouser-like character.But if you don't care about balance, about good game design practices, to what sort of build decisions your rule incentivises or apparently even producing the feel you say you want, then what basis is there for any discussion? Like if the question is can this rule be put in place, then of course the answer is yes. You can implement any houserule if you don't care about its implications. So there really is nothing to discuss and there is no point for you to post it here.</blockquote>
