I realized something is outright broken in my idea as outlined: if you want to have a decent chance of being able to cast a powerful spell you make it a breakout ability -- which means you can also cast it multiple times. Oops, not what I wanted.

...back to the drawing board.

Apropos, large part of the motivation here is adding some crunch to HQ for a very specific purpose: I want to run a short old-school feel-alike game. One of the elements I want to capture is are the discrete choises common in old-school games.

Cheers,
