ah ok. yeah i don't think there's a huge problem with the way spells are handled currently. but if we're worried about new players being disadvantaged by not being able to cast spells (as rt and co. have expressed), the best way to deal with that is to circulate XP more evenly across the board. AKA incentivise old money players to spend their XP instead of hoarding it.
