[QUOTE="grimslade, post: 3738030, member: 6061"] So you're seeing spells like 3.x psionics. One spell modified by points/spell levels to add damage dice, DC or effect. I like that. It makes spellcasters much more flexible and possibly flavorful. The use of 25th level spells though makes me think that there will be no point-like or level splitting system. I think we might get more of a progression as spell level moves up. Take teleport. At low spell levels it acts like a limited Dimension Door for the caster, with greater levels a spell caster can add passengers or lengthen the distance traveled. It might work like Animal companions do Level -3 for the added effect. Up to 30th level when you are moving real estate through the planes. I think spellcasters will only have their character level spell slots. Maybe 3 or 4. Wizards might have more than Sorcerors. The number of Vancian spells to choose from will be small though. The 'game-breaker' magic scry, teleport, most good divinations will be per day spells. Old Save or Die spells will probably be Vancian as well.
