[RQ-Rules] RE: Wizardry

[Leon Kirshtein]

I am convinced that the spells should not depend on
magic points, but having the spells cost less on a
special does not really help. I am still looking for a
nice progression system, which would allow a wizard to
learn and cast more spells as time goes on. What I am
using now is a combination of the characters INT,
which also serves to limit the characters access to
spirit magic and sorcery, and decrease chance of
memorizing an additional spell of the same type. But,
these do not prevent a character to memorizing only
the most powerful spells. I am still open to
suggestions on that.
