Whatever happened to the concept of dry-casting a spell?

It used to be a great last stitch effort of a used up wizard.

Rip the page out of my book because im gunna die if i dont cast it.

for those not familiar, dry-casting is when you cast a spell by removing it from your spellbook. using the pages like a scroll in effect.

I know the books says you cant use a spellbook in this mannor. but does anyone else still use this rule?

or maybe someone has modified it to make it slightly more 3.5 friendly?

I always liked this idea, too, but I've never actually seen it used in a game. I'd allow it, but I don't think it needs any more rules than you've just listed. :)

I'd allow it until characters started ripping out pages all the time.

I'd allow that, but expencive material components must be obtained and XP cost must be paid.
