Thanks, Kale! Exactly what I was going for, so I can ask new players "What is your Basket Weaving skill?" without adding "It's under that super long list on the right, it's alphabetic."

The specific game those characters are for is for some kids (and their dad) who have never played any RPG before except maybe computer games, hence going for uber-simplicity.

With the wizard, I wanted to give her a few spells to give some ideas ("I can attack! I can protect myself! I can fly!"), but also allow room for her to say "Well, can I 'X' too?" without squashing it. It's basically totally freeform, kind of a wild-wilcard skill. But it costs half her "magic points (MP)" each time, plus it's a 3-hour game, so I don't expect much abuse :)
