Wrong! Arcanum is a lot more fun to fiddle around as a techie healer gunslinger. Spellcaster is just plain vanilla there.

Ars Magica has a great PnP spell research/casting system.
Seconding Ultimas in cRPG spellcasting.
Darklands has a unique feel to its magic system that I liked. Though you brew potions with alchemy instead of casting anything. There's reagents, you need a philosophers stone and alchemy skill, you need to hunt for recipes etc. It fits the game world very well, but its application in combat is not that interesting which is a big minus.
I prefer spell points. Memorizing spells is a bit annoying.deus101 said:Any system that forces you to memorize spells...
This way for each encounter you got a limit on what you can use....so...mana pools are OUT!

Though i agree, i wish the lulz was kept to a minimum. Though the content is appreciated.
