Not spells castable, actual spells. All of those spells that are out there, useful, but everyday life. And, present situations where they are used in the world and thus reasons for PCs to take. (Social Pillar) Rain Ward- the umbrella form of floating disk. Could actually be useful adventuring if you have to pass under a waterfall or are concerned about that green slimy patch on the ceiling. Couvade- the partner of the birthing woman takes on much of the stress of childbirth, increasing survival of mother and infant. (That's more of a druid spell, though.) Excavation- Digs a well or defensive trench. Wall of Warmth- Heats an area to a habitable level of warmth.The more situational spells they have, and have opportunity to use, the fewer combative spells they will have. Or, at least use them more judiciously.EtA: Curated spell lists for magician covenants / guilds. Here are 10 spells per level that you could know. Here's the special ability of your guild. If you want to learn a spell outside of your guild's list you can, but it must be researched.Maximum spell level castable is Score - 10. In this edition it's easy enough to bring a score to 20- make it an opportunity cost.Allow multiple spells requiring concentration to be active at the same time. +5 to the Concentration check for each spell, and all are lost if failed. Creates an opportunity cost for clutch plays.How's that?</blockquote>
