I play almost spellcasters almost exclusively and I love the resouce managemant nature of spells.  My last two characters were a Tiefling Transmuter and a Arcane Hierophant specialized in conjuring magic (I jokingly refered to him as my green deck) and I loved having to make do in each encounter with only the spells on hand and scrolls that I crafted in my spare time.  It make things fun and challenging.  I would hate to move to a system were I only ever had the options of a Warlock.  It would be boring.On the other hand, I do wish magic was more atmospheric.  A skill and feat system of magic sort of like Star Wars, only with a more magical and less psychic dominated set of skills (although include those too).  Combine that with a few spells of great power and skills/feats that represented non-magical but mystical skills-alchemy, mediation, hypnosis and other 'trickery' that really blended the edges between magic and strange, but mundane knowlegde.  Once again, look to Robert Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, and the other Sword and Sorcery greats.Books could be filled with new magic skills, magic and psuedo-magic feats, and prestige classes.  I just hope they never go to a purely modular system like Elements of magic.  I have players who barely understand clearly outlined and very specific spells.  God help me if they actually have to craft spells on the fly or on their own <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
