[QUOTE="Votan, post: 6052216, member: 18680"] I think I pretty much have to agree with this. I can totally buy clerics seeing magic as something divine and casting spells without cause as being an abuse of the divine gift. Or maybe Druids being solitary and not really being able to work these things out might be discussed. Sorcerers might be solitary and so forth. These sorts of assumptions might not apply to every campaign, but I could see the argument for it. But wizards are an intelligence based class that has access to every possible knoweldge skill. This background suggests scholars and teachers. Many waizard spells have no cost to being cast other than time to prepare the spells. Duration might not be a great metric but you'd get it with repetition and practice. The intensity of fireballs may not be trivial to measure. But what about the number of magic missiles that are created by a spell. That is discrete, easy to measure and would correspond to spell power. Or the number of totals spells that can be prepared. You just figure wizards are going to work these things out to a high level of precision . . . [/QUOTE]
