I have seen some suggestions about having long range versions of magic available that utilize much lower range penalties at twice the normal costs. Obviously, this would be well suited for ritual magic, as a single mage, while able to throw a few spells to the far side of a battlefield, would quickly exhaust his FP stock. These long range mages would also have difficulty with normal up-close work, and all their spells cost more regardless of distance.

I am playing with the idea of it being two different specialties of war magic - Tactical (for close range, FP based) and Strategic (for long range, possible Thresh based powers). Ritual Magic probably does not apply to the strategic mages in this setting, though, because I don't think any amount of onlookers can mitigate an increasing amount of stress on the forces that hold the material plane together. :p
