Spell point systems are really neat -- except that they put even more
emphasis on high character stats.

Not always. The system I developed (and play) gives each character a "seed"
amount of spell points. You then "bought" knowledge of spells by spending
time, $'s and ep learning them. Every ep point you spent learning spells
turned into one spell point per day. Thus, having good stats wasn't as
important picking up ep/$'s. This encouraged people to be bloodthirsty, but
that's always a problem.
