You can meet the master wizard and there you can empower your spells with some new currency which is valuable for wizards/mages.

Example,
When wizard casts timestop at the time he finds it, his spell is only a few ranges wide. Spell wraps around the sphere of only 2 enemy pawns.
He finds some kind of crystals or defined source of power in the world. Then he goes to master wizard in town or in wizards tower to upgrade his spells.
He can upgarde the damage the spell and ranges, areas of effects. Then his timestiop spell wraps around multiple enemy pawns.

A cool idea but it won't happen unless it is grounded in D&D rules. Hopefully if they release mod tools it will work

Play as sorcerer.
They get points which they can use for meta magic, such as more damage, more range or longer duration.

Many spells increase their effect if you cast them at a higher spell level. Any caster can use every spell as the native spell level of that spell or any higher spell level as long as they have not used all spells per day for this level.

As mentioned by a previous poster, casting some spells in higher level slots allows the targeting of more creatures. And at least in one case, Confusion comes to mind, casting at a higher level spell slot can widen the area of affect.
