I know! We could roll two 8-sided dice . . . No, just kidding, put away that glaive-guisarme.

Maybe skills use the 32/2 = 16 paradigm, but IQ remains a rigid limit to the number of SPELLS you can learn as part of that "16" number...
(E.g., if my character has ST 12, DX 12, IQ 8, then he can learn up to 16 "points" of skills and spells, but since his IQ is only 8, then only 8 of those slots can be taken up with Spells (which means, if he's a Wizard, he gets 8 Spells; and if he's a Warrior he only gets 2 spells and has to raise his IQ by one to learn another one.)

I agree. Here's a slight modification / clarification.
The rules for starting characters are the same as classic TFT and Wizard:
- You start with IQ talent / spell points (just like classic TFT and Wizard)
When you gain XP, you can purchase new talents and/or spells, subject to these limitations:
- The number of your spells can never exceed your IQ (just like in wizard)
- The total number of your talents and spells cannot exceed the higher of IQ and attributes / 2
