Spell point systems are really neat -- except that they put even more
emphasis on high character stats.  I've observed that this has really
bad effects on people -- not wanting to accept low-stat characters and
all that.  In principle, spell point systems are good.  In practice
I've not seen it work as well as the current system.

And another thing.  Mages now can be even more powerful using the
spell point system.  I think they're already really tough; why
give them more punch?  Psionics are quite rough enough for me
without having mages act like psychics too!
