I have been thinking and comparing the two magic systems and realized that some spells are not as powerful. For example in words of power fireball can not be recreated as a third level spell.
I suggest that the energy spells be improved in this way.
Each energy type has a basic word like fire, cold, acid... etc.
Here is an example of a the word for fire which is flame jet for the most part.
Fire (Fire)
School evocation [fire]; Level druid 0, sorcerer/wizard 0
Cost 2; Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw Reflex half; Spell Resistance Yes
This spell deals 1d4 points of fire damage. If the spell has
only a single target, it requires a melee or ranged touch
attack to hit and does not allow a saving throw.
Then to improve the damage of the spell the word (Magic Well) can be added to it (A better word could be choosen for Magic Well, it was the best I could come up with at the moment).
Lesser Magic Well (Meta)
School universal; Level all 1
Cost 1/3; Duration see text
Saving Throw see text; Spell Resistance see text
This spell replaces the damage of the word being modified.
The spell deals 1d4 points of damage per level of
the caster (maximum 5d4). If the spell has only a single
target, it requires a ranged touch attack to hit and does
not allow a saving throw.
Boost (sorcerer/wizard only): By increasing the cost to 5, this spell does 1d6 points of damage per level of the caster (maximum 5d6).
Magic Well (Meta)
School universal; Level all 3
Cost 3/6; Duration see text
Saving Throw see text; Spell Resistance see text
This spell replaces the damage of the word being modified.
The spell deals 1d6 points of damage per level of
the caster (maximum 10d6). If the spell has only a single
target, it requires a ranged touch attack to hit and does
not allow a saving throw.
Boost (sorcerer/wizard only): By increasing the level to 5 and the cost to 7, this spell does 1d6 points of damage per level of the caster (maximum 15d6).
Note: no more than one magic well can be used at a time.
Using this you could replicate a 20 foot radius fireball and eliminate a lot of the energy words.
What does everybody think?
Adding Wordburning as a class ability to wizards would be a good idea too.
