[QUOTE="Estlor, post: 1138555, member: 7261"] I think they're referring to the fact that you have set spell energy derived from your casting ability score and levels of Channeller. Not exactly what I'd call a "mana system" though. My reccomendation is to get the part of the SRD on psionics and use the point cost setup there for spells. Keep the costs the same and convert the spellcasting characters over by turning their spells per day into spell points per day. F'rinstance, a 9th level sorcerer would have 98 spell points to cast spells with. Then just convert the metamagic feats so that they cost more spell points, not more spell levels. The downside to that is you basically destroy either the sorcerer or the wizard. They both become spontaneous casters that can apply metamagic to spells on the fly. I guess you'd have to enforce the wizard's prepared spell restriction by adopting a spell slot system like AU as well, making it so a wizard has to pick X number of spells from his spellbook for each level and can only cast those spells that day. Then make metamagic feats only work on spells "prepared" in this fashion on the fly - you designate a metamagiced, say, fireball at the beginning of the day. Otherwise appling a metamagic to a spell (for either the wizard or sorcerer) will take a full round. [/QUOTE]
