Vancian Magic

I'm with Steve on this. I loved the Vance stories but didn't like the D&D Magic system at all. I think Vancian Magic is a poor fit for "power point" systems like TFT.

Oh, and I didn't like the direction Vance took with his later stories where he revealed that magic was provided by magical beings (Sandestins). To me that was kinda like the later Star Wars films where the mysterious "force" turned out to be created by microscopic creatures (midiclorians). Meh
