Yes, but what Steve is proposing puts the modifiers right into the spell
formula... which means that if you learn from that formula, you're stuck
with the modifiers.

Speaking of learning spells... Anyone consider allowing spell-casters to
"upgrade" spells?
Instead of having to learn the spell again at a higher force, one could
simply increase their current understanding of the spell...
