<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hmmm...when I cast magic, my MEP gain is influenced
by the EL of the spell used. My expertise, however, is only dependent on
the BMC of the spell. In theory, I could cast my spells over an over
again, cast at EL0, and improve my possible EL to, say, EL5, butr have never
cast the spell above EL0. It just seems funny to me.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>IT's kinda like a task you do at work...you learn
more from the complex tasks than you do from the simple, mundane
ones.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was thinking that the expertise gain (not
experience...it's OK) be limited to only 1 point if the spell is not cast at
your current maximum EL. If cast at your max EL, then you get the BMC*2
expertise points. Or even take (EL cast divided by Max EL capable)*BMC*2
with a minimum of 1 point if casting at EL0, and if max EL is 0, then get the
full BMC*2</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here's the deal...say I have a BMC2 (Protection,
for example) spell I know at EL0. I cast it successfully four times and
gain 8 expertise points. This permits me to gain the spell at EL1.
Now, I can cast the spell at EL0 for 2 mana, or I can cast it at EL1 for 4
(BMC+EL*2). But all I am trying to do is cast the spell successfully a
lot...so why bother with EL1? I get the same expertise either way.
True, I get more experience with the EL1 spell, but is that enough?</FONT></DIV>
