So I have this idea for a class that uses a partial Vancian partial Spell Points system of using magic. Here's the basics and fluff, I need help fleshing out the crunch.

Medium BAB, D8 HD, Good Saves are Will and Ref, Bad saves are Con.
Vancian Casting. Extremely limited, mostly utility spells (reloading hands, mage hand, abundant ammunition, maybe some spells also.) Thinking spontaneous, but limited in the max spell level.

Grit/Spell Points with words of power casting. This will allow for some deeds from gunslinger and other appropriate gun using archtypes. Also used for making and/or firing bullets empowered with words of power, and be used like the arcane grit of the spellgun archtype for the wizard. I'm thinking either a combined pool that you can shoot magic bullets with on the fly using offensive words of power, or seperate pools where you make your magic bullets at the begining of each day like prepped spells, and the grit is just grit. I'm thinking the second is a bit more balanced. Have like a spellpoint pool you can draw from, a max level your spelled bullet can be by level(each spell level is one spell point). This gives the class some flexibility. The class could have a few really powerful spell bullets, but runs out of spell bullets quickly, or quite a few lower leveled spell bullets, but none of the stopping power. Or one big spell bullet and a few smaller ones.

Any thoughts on the crunch?
