Well, see you memorize them the "night" before. And if you memorized 3 light spells you cannot cast 4 because you forgot them after you cast the 3rd one, but not the 2nd one.
It's because the magic stuff can't stay in your brain... ...its as if only an aspect of the spell exists...
Yes, its crazy. I found the muls odd too. But it's hard. I got to a final battle and got my rumpus handed to me repeatedly.
Exactly. I keep picturing a poetry reading at some artsy spoken word joint and some guy taking the stage, stuttering for a minute before apologizing profusely, explaining that he intended to recite Frost's "The Road Not Taken" but he accidentally recited it to a girl on the bus ride over and since he only memorized ONE recital of that poem he was now assed-out. I just cannot understand why D&D PLAYERS cannot seem to get over this horrifically poor design when even the designers, editors, writers etc. from both TSR and WoTC cannot stand it(but are forced to stay with it by those same fans threatening boycotts). I mean what if the original D&D had proposed a system where charisma was the attribute that determined one's ability to 'bend bars/lift gates'?! Would the system suffer to this day with that convention?!
