Even as a player, buying to 0 END then having Limited Uses or Charges
duplicates the comics far better.

I've always loved the idea of "cantrips", that is, low-level spells that
perform only minor effects. In all my fantasy games these are the *primary*
form's of magic. I treat them as 1/4-pt spells - that is, for 1 Talent
Point a wizard can have 4 of them (a hero can have 1 for IQ Talent Point). 

Over the years I've collected about 160 of them, so they make for some
really colorful "hedge" wizards...
