ah, but it would make us much more powerful, the 8 spells at a time is a
balancing effect, not a lack of proper interface. I like to think that the
strategy involved in memorizing spells is what sets us appart from the big
dumb warriors :) I'm not saying I wouldn't like to be able to mem *all* my
spells, or even 8 more, just that I think it would seriously give casters an
advantage, and reduce the need for tanks etc, especially for necros, who
already have the skeleton porta-tank.
