Tease. That sounds about perfect for what I'm looking at. With all the iterations that I've worked up, the ones that I keep on coming back to are (1) noun-verb syntactic, and (2) realm-structured skill-based magic system. (And by "realm-structured" I mean taking the prereq count and using it as a guideline as to where a spell might be ranked in terms of the Mage the Ascension or 5/6 level Realm system.)

Mixed with Threshold-limited magic... Well, it seems to work for what I want but it's not very, well, elegant.
