This is my idea for spell casting feats

part of this is campain specific and spell point system is used

Every person has one school of magic in which they are able to use if they chose spell casting ability (pcs/ Major npcs will have choice npcs will be random) Spells known will be all from that school

Spell Casting Feats
Feats/ Prerec./Ability
Spell Casting ability / Chr 10 Know. Arcana 2 Spellcraft 2 / 3 spell points, Cast 0 level spells
Cast Level 1 spells / CHr 11 KNow Arcana 4, Spellcraft 4 / 6 spell points cast 1st level spells
Cast level 2 spells / Chr 12 Know Arcana 6, Spellcraft 6 / 6 spell points, cast 2nd level spells
Cast level 3 spells / Chr 13 Know Arcana 8, Spellcraft 8 / 6 Spell points, cast 3rd level Spells
Ect down to level 9 spells Also previous level spells required befor casting higher level

Extra spell points/ Spell Casting ability / +12 Spell points

Additional School/ Spell casting ability, Cast level 3 spells / Add spells know from one additional school, Spells are cast at +1 Level Adjustment, this feat does not stack but taking it again will add an additional school but also increase the level adjustment for that school by +1
(example first school necromancy spells cast at normal level, second school enchantment, Spells have a +1 Level Adjustment, 3rd school conjuration spells have a +2 Level Adjustment)
Level adjustment means they cost as many spell points as a spell of +x higher level

Any Meta Magic Feat

Reduce Level Adjustment / Any 3 metamagic feats / Reduces Level Adjustment By 1

All Spell casting feats Add 1 to caster level but caster level can never be higher than charichter level.

For a regular campain I would remove additional school from the list and add as a prerec. to spell casting ability Cleric Path, Bard Part, Druid Path, Wiz Path, Sor. Path, ect these feats would give spells know as the apropreate class and spell casting ability would be seperate from each other.

I hope this is not to confusing

Comments please
thankyou

im going to note this again.a lvl1 spell 1/day is a feat.ALONE,oh and you can never take it again.3 cantrips a day is a feat as well,spellcasting cant be distilled into feats balence wise.

I disagree i think a feat is worth a 3rd or 4th level spell in some cases but that is my opinion. play testing will show balance later
