That makes wizards weaker overall, but probably magic is then presumably rarer so that compensates.

But, you see, my grudge lies specifically with save-or-die spells.
And from what I've seen, pretty much every GURPS system suitable to a high fantasy setting has those.
So I'd like to target them. Having a ground base (i.e. what I'm trying to do) and then nitpicking the more specific cases sounds solid to me, but I need help on the details, such as numbers.
EDIT: Also, I'd like to know which other spells you guys consider out of the curve. I'll most likely try to balance them all.
