It being piecemeal (not necessarily a bad thing) gives those who use it added versatility over regular casters at the cost of... versatility.Consider that traditional spellcasters have a huge selection of pre-existing spells from which they can choose. To become a wordcaster however, they have to give up access to all those spells to instead choose from a narrower selection of combinable words. I understand that there will eventually be more words to choose from, but it seems doubtful that there can ever be enough words to replicate all of the effects possible with traditional spells. So, sure, a wordcaster has added versatility with those word/effects with which he's familiar, but at the expense of all the niche effects provided by traditional spells.So one type of versatility is, in effect, traded for another kind of versatility. That to say I'm not yet sold on the notion. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" /></blockquote>
