Other games have done away with this archaic requirement on casters. Some never followed this practice at all.

Im legitimately asking what greater gain comes from limiting mage mobility, not asking for replies stating: "that's just how its always been so accept it"

Thats the exact mentality that restricts the evolved improvement of this genre.
the majority of the support for it comes from dd's if you look at the replies. the majority that are worried about the change are the actual people that play the classes it will directly impact. if you asked these forums would you bo ok if the black mage had one spell that they casted repeatedly as a nuke and a white mage had no other ability besides a heal then the majority here would support this change.

the dd's think that mages only do one single thing so as far as they care as long as that one thing is done they think anything else is wasted.
