If you are being bugged by it, don't wait.And there are pretty simple mechanical changes that can be made for any other mechanical problem that is clashing with the flavor you want to achieve to. Actually more simple, because you only have to touch the game in one place rather than rewritting 20 or so spells.</blockquote>
