Hmm, intersting. At first glance I thought that Memnoch's idea would be too strong. However, I calculated that a level 17 non-specialist mage would only need to fire off 13 spells, if he had his max number of spells per level, to equal 80 levels:
2 x lvl 8 = 16
3 x lvl 7 = 21
3 x lvl 6 = 18
5 x lvl 5 = 25
13 Totals 80
13 seems resonable compared to a sorceror's 10 and a specialist mage would only need 12, to equal 81.
Another idea would be to allow them a percentage chance of learning a spell which has been used on them! There is nothing like learning from actual experience instead of theory. You could argue they could see the weave first hand and learn the pattern that way. For example if a sorceror was struck by lightning, they could have a % chance equal to their INT x 2, of learning it.What do you think?
