Impossible! I always find your posts to be great fun, so never worry about that!

Haha... my next crazy scheme is to eliminate IQ levels for spells, but not for talents. I'd broken up my original Wizardry Talent into 6 separate talents (at IQs 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, and 24 respectively) each of which unlocks the spells within IQ ranges (among other fun, progressive advantages). So why not just dump the IQ tag attached to every spell, sort them into 6 lists corresponding to the 6 magic-user talents, and just call them levels or tiers for wizards. If you have the 3rd wizardry talent, your spells can come from list 3 or below. It's kind of tempting!
