Re: (TFT) Wizard mods - out of balance?

["Dan Tulloh" <dwtulloh61@cox.net>]

I sort of prefer the Magery idea from GURPS ... let the wizard buy
levels of Magery for character points ( or experience points later ) and
then come up with some kind of a formula to come up with a figure
on how much magical power the wizard can generate.

For example, suppose we say that Magical Power = Magery X ST.
Beginning figures would have a low level of Magery and thus low 
levels of power at their disposal while the the old wizard might be
failing in ST but have Magery out the wazoo and would therefore
have very high levels of magical power at his disposal.

Just an idea, I haven't fleshed this out very much yet.
