My first idea was to remove some magic classes, or use some slternative magic system. Like vestiges or truenaming. What I seek is an advice, on what classes to remove and/or what classes to include. UPD: Probably taint mehanic would also be a nice addition.

Even on 6th level a wizard will likely have only 3 spells of 3rd level and 4 spells of 2nd level, which I think is not too much if you keep the characters occupied and not allow them to rest after every second encounter. Limiting their spell list would likely have a greater impact. For example magic missile or fireball could not be avialable as 1st and 3rd level spells respectively so spells charm person, invisibility, and spider climb get a more prominent role. The sorcerer is a more primal type of arcane spellcaster but does have eben more spells per day, so I'd say this could be a likely candidate too. Bards on the other hand seem to be a very good choice to keep to me. They don't have much spells and those are of limited offensive potential, also I think bards can have a more mysterious feel to them than for example wizards do. Druids are nice fluff-wise, but I think make quite powerfull spellcasters even early in the game. And I think clerics really don't fit in well. They are both strong combatants and strong spellcasters and their spells augment their fighting prowres. I made a priest class which is essentially a wizard with a modifies cleric spell list and domains.
