Which is to say, you stopped playing the game at roughly the level it became broken. AD&D wizards were mostly gimps until about fifth level, and a lot of the really broken stuff didn't kick in until you got 6th level spells, though the quadratic effect was present earlier (higher level meant you got more spells, the spells you already had were more effective, and you got new spells that were even better).
