I gave a review.
@Caligastia Thank you very much for the review!
@gharlane A lot of the systems actually simplify/speed up the use of magic. Some of them use resource based casting rather than spells per day or the like.
Ancients gain their resource over time and most of their spells last for 24 hours. They have an entirely new spell list and their spells wouldn't really "work" for other casters.
Arcanaphage has "kludges". Basically raw magical shortcuts that aren't proper "spells". They have their own write ups and are not really “spells”. It’s probably closer to something like a 3.5 warlock or Pathfinder wordcasting (but... not either of those, if that makes any sense).
Gnostic does a lot with math and it can echo spells (recast the same spell in the same fashion) sometimes via some class features. She is also a resource based caster running off gnosis points which she gains when people nat 1 or nat 20.
Godaiken has a more “tao” casting system (if you are familiar with our Heroes of the East line)
Haunted one, lover , and worldshaper are all pretty standard Vancian casters however. They have other things that make them weird/unique.
Hope that helps!

Nursing school finals got in the way, but that ends tomorrow! I will get about 3 weeks of vacation to catch up on this :)
Well we are looking forward to it :-)

Ancient might work better as an NPC, as it doesn't seem to offer as much in melee. It's spells seem more suited cast at the beginning of the adventuring day than in the heat of combat. The godaiken just rocks as a character, as does the Mason-like world shaper!!

Ancient is an interesting class to play. Think of yourself like a bard that doesn't have to expend actions during combat to provide it's buffs- instead you have to do you casting ahead of time. That's the trade off- not as situationally adaptable but doesn't take action economy.
You can make a REALLY scary character if you can use your reincarnations and ancient secrets correctly.
Your real bread and butter for damage (and again, you are a huge buffer) is ancient fury and magical rupture. Save up your points and just rip enemies a new one. (Particularly with the Improved Ancient Fury secret).
Past life possession + a melee oriented monstrous race (via your reincarnation class feature) can actually turn this d6, low-BAB class into someone who can actually hit things at no real extra cost to your spellcasting.
