Once again, this is not Dungeons and Dragons: you have a manabar to cast spells, you don't have to remember them (I always wondered: is it the wizards having memory problems beacause of the age: they cannot remember spells even if they use it 3 time per day?).
I do agree that this game should not be confused with adnd however there is more to spell casting concept in adnd then just what you think of. As you know spells are inscribed by runes into your spell books. And those runes them-selves if succesfully inscribed are magical not bare ink. They posses the power of the magic with in their writing. They posses a greater power much greater than you can ever imagine and once a mage possessing the true power to understand reads those he taps the power of the magic into his mind. It is just like a match once you light it burns with a great fire and then dies out in a certain time. If you want a new fire you have to pull out a new match relight, note that you can not use the old match again just like you can't use the same spell you have used before. It is not just mere words that you memorize the power you tap into your body. And a forth 4level spell takes about 8 pages if you wonder how long it is 0th level spells are 1 page and others are double their spell level. Even barely memorizing it would be hard. I hope I could clear that out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />
