And what about the magic? Wouldn't it be good if there was a chance that your spells would fail when you try to cast them? I mean, the more complex the spell, the harder to get it right. A very basic spell is easy to cast for an experienced mage, and thus the "spell failure chance" would be quite small. But basic spells is hard to get right if you are a beginner. Noone is born as a master, you know! As you use your spells, say, the basic "Magic Missile" (easier to use BG spells right now), you will get more proficient with the specific spell you used, in this case Magic Missile, and a little better with all the other spells. Let me explain my thoughts a bit. You get more EXP in Magic Missile the more you use it, because the incantation and gestures gets better and better when you use it, thus minimizing the chance of a spell failure. You gain not as much EXP in the "general magic", since you gain A LITTLE insight in how magic works, but you don't know the gestures and incantations as well as you know the Magic Missile, since you haven't used them as much.
I may be waaay off course just screwing things up, but this is a bit different than Baldurs Gate anyway. And I don't want to see some Baldurs Gate copy in the Magic system.
That's all folks!
