Making Life Hard for Magic-Users (Oct. 1981)

When my players asked about how Magic works, i clearly stated that there exists the spell point system, to forget once and for all Vancian magic. I informed them that spells might be dangerous to cast and -mainly- i stressed several times that spells cause fatigue to the magician, and that they would have to adopt the delay system.
Magic is not like playing with some toys, if you are not prepared to such and such, go play a fighter instead. Only a few can play a Magician, in AD&D or in any other game whatsoever.
