Look here, why are we scratching around for a stat to relate magic to? Why not just use POW? You don't need to be pretty to be a sorceror, or healthy, or strong, or tall - DEX is useful, I suppose, but I wouldn't relate magic directly to it.

If you really want magic to be tiring, then make spells cost FP in addition to MP, or make 'Low Magic' just cost FP. I like POW.
