I like it... a lot! Even though the TIA makes for a pretty formidable Wizard (a character which seems to receive the most common/only complaints in HeroQuest), this is a fantastic alternative to the other Wizard advancements offered in TIA.

I like this. I created a battle mage a long time ago. I believe I showed it to you a while back Phoenix. He used only specific earth and fire spells made for him. I tried to make him a character meant for a battle field and not a dungeon. So he had two healing spells, two mediocre attack spells and two really powerful attack spells. The really powerful spells effected multiple spaces, and they damaged anyone, friend or foe, in the line/radius of damage. He could wear light armor and was allowed to use only one handed weapons, representing the need of one hand to be free for spell casting.
