Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Alpha Update v1.0.114

I must say that I do not particulary like the new system of bying different verions of the same types of skills over and over again. Sure, they are more powerful versions, but why not simply make single skill of one type instead, and make it more powerful by putting more points into corresponding ability? Several same iconed, similar named Flare spells only clutter the spellbook and make things more confusing.
If the difference in AP cost is a problem, then why not make some sort of Skill Charge button, slider or whatever with which you can adjust the power of the skill? That way the effect output and the corresponding AP cost can be adjusted on the fly. It's a suggestion only, as I still prefer the skills to be unique, rather than having multiple versions of them.
