Imagine back in the days of AD&D when you had one (1) spell a day and no modifier for wisdom, Intelligence or even Charisma. That was it. Mages had 1 spell... and 2 at 2nd level. But when you got into the 8th and above levels, you were the big hitter of the party.<br/><br/>With the right spell mix, you can already dominate the battlefield as your spells usually don't even have to have an attack roll. fighter types miss more than they hit at 1st level and take all of the damage.
