[RQ-Rules] Wizardry

[Michael Christian]

Just a couple of comments.
I like the idea and some of the spell treatments. So much so that I think 
I'll make use of them myself if opportunity presents itself. One thing that 
I didn't see is: what is the % chance to cast a spell? Is it a skill or is 
it power based.
One of the things that always bugged me about D&D was the "fire and forget" 
nature of magic. It never made sense to me. So much so that even before 
playeing Runequest we had adopted a magic point system in our D&D games. 
Both a point system and the caster forgetting the spell once it's cast serve 
as limits on spell use, so is it necessary to have both for a wizard?
Some the spells seem to have excessive MP costs for what you get. Compare 8 
point wizardry Burning Sword ( The enchanted weapon deals +1d6 points of 
fire damage on a successful hit, which is increased to +2d6 on a special or 
a critical hit. 1 Minute Duration) to 4 point Spirit Magic Flame Blade (3d6 
replaces weapon damage, 5 minute duration).
