Do you believe in Magic?

Alright friends and folks,

We got ourselves a custom magic system we're working on.

Firstly, it's based around magic points. A caster gets a certain pool of magic points to draw from in casting spells. Level 0 spells, cantrips, cost zero magic points (and thus can be cast freely to infinity). Level 1 spells (first circle) cost 1 magic point to cost, level 2 spells (second circle) cost 2 magic points and so on and so forth. So let's say we have a caster with 7 magic points - he could cast 7 magic missiles (7 X 1 = 7), or two hastes and a magic missile (3 X 2 + 1 = 7), etc.

Second aspect, and this we love. The system frees casters of the traditional spontaneous caster way of learning spells (you select a limited number upon levelups regularly). Instead, here we have the freedom to automatically grant spells to players - so that they'll always know it. OR OR OR, we can tie the learning of spells to players going to certain areas. So if a pc wants to learn how to cast 'call lightning' - we can make it so he'd have to travel to stone henge to learn it.

Third aspect - we can control which spells can be cast in what areas. So if we want, we could make it so raise dead can only be cause inside a holy shrine, or call lightning can only be cast in a circle of power, etc.

Fourth Aspect - we can make it so players can teach spells to one another. This is a mechanical thing that we hope will spawn rp (technically players could just learn it mechanically and do no rp, but if they do that that's their choice and they're missing out).

Excited? Tantalized? I know I am. PT already has this magical magic system built. We need only implement it into our pw. Here's hoping it works out.
