Now, I'm not suggesting that D&D ditch the Vancian system in favor of something more "realistic" - Vancian magic is too deeply ingrained in the game, and attempts to get rid of it are going to be futile because too many people are used to it, and related to it as part of D&D's "brand". But even 5e is tinkering with the magic system around the edges - the Chaos Mage being one obvious example, but also the font of magic mechanic, at-will cantrips and various archetype spells, etc.</blockquote>
