[RQ-Rules] RE: Wizardry

[Leon Kirshtein]

Hmm, how about a progression by school?

School skill/10 as the number of spells of a
particular level(pionts) which can be memorized. I
could still keep the INT restriction, but make
memorizing same spells take up only 1 point of INT.

For example:

Evocation 30% would allow one to memorize 3 x 1 point
Evocation spells, 1 x 2 point Evocation spell, and 1 x
3 point Evocation spell. If the character chooses to
memorize 3 uses of Magic Missle it would still onlt
take a 1 point of INT.

This method would allow for specialization and make
some wizards much better at some things than other.
