If this option were used, it might not be necessary to place a limit on memory.* Perhaps a caster could cast a certain number of spells from memory (as outlined in the 1st point)  without chance of failure, while any beyond this limit would always have the risk of failing (being imprecisely remembered).Anyway, put me down as a vote against "fire and forget", but I'd still like spellbooks to play an important and ongoing role--rather than never requiring a caster to go back and occaisionaly study a spell after he's "learned" it.</blockquote>
