Trust me, very few days go by where I don't actively think about this.

![Passage from a book: "This idea of some sort of quantified "goetic energy" expended by spell-casting, which commonly became known as "spell points," quickly began to gain traction. In the following issue of APA-L, John Hertz replied to Johnstone, "I rather like the idea of using up spell-points. I do think they should be restorable by rest." One issue later, Hilda Hannifen expressed more qualified enthusiasm: "I agree that spell casting should be rejuvenated at a faster pace than Lee allows but also at a slower pace than you [Johnstone] would allow: say, one point per hour game time. I like to see limits on magic use as that tends to make a more wary, challenged game group." These deliberations are remarkable for their complete dismissal of the published clarifications of spell memorization in the Strategic Review, of which all parties surely were aware by this point."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mzww46qhsbn232vzr7gsyjt5/bafkreidmufnl3o7my34apu6qeq77kd4tj7kd45qo6dl43r2wmi7m5asatm)
