The way he has done it is awesome. Let's say Thm has a scalable Ice spell, then Blm can have a scalable Freeze spell, now when level cap is increased spells will retain their balance cause freeze will always be stronger than ice and black mage will always stand out from thm.
i'll wait to make my decision after i see the list to say whether it is intelligent or complete ignorance.

you completely screwed your own example given off your argument btw.

if you want to use the first example with the new system thm would have the capped fire spell.....oh and blm would as well. you used tiered magic in both cases in your argument.

if you want to stick to your second example it would be no different than thm having the tiered fire spells and the blm having tiered flare ancient magics.

you intentionally gave one example of a tiered spell using the next tier in one example and then a tiered spell compared to an ancient magic in the other. try to compare apples to apples next time, please.
