Well, I wasn't thinking about magical styles, so that doesn't change anything (they're interesting, but aren't needed for every game). I think my main aim was to do away with long prerequisite chains, as well as making spell skills a bit more 'skill-like.' I suspect these were not my only aims when I started, but I'm not recalling others at the moment, as I started work on this some time ago (less than a month, I think, but long enough that combined with being tired a lot and having many other ideas, I'm not sure).
