Only two or three complaints so far:
1 - Cantrips I don't like the sound of. This would make this into a long 
haul affair, since all actions would require a delay in between to see 
if another player wants to play a cantrip.
2- This is kinda Magic-esque, innit, albeit on a lower level?
3- More than five power gems I do not like. Reminds me of life-laming in 
Magic...
