Magic Cards ver. 0.2
- new back face with b&w Frostgrave logo
- back face have more white areas to save your ink or laser toner
- removed all sorcerer schools cards
- instead added 1 clear card from each school (fan spells)
- cast roll font greatly reduced and  moved up
- now you can write by yourself CURRENT cast difficulty each time it has been changed. Just use eraser and pencil. Base level is still there!

Wizard Sheet ver. 0.1
- first public iteration
- only 2 pages
- all warband members at one side - wizard, apprentice, 12 soldiers and sellsword slots
- with magic cards ver. 0.2 till end of the game you don’t need to turn page
- without magic cards you can still track current cast difficulty (like base cast / school modifications / upgrade and sum for all of them)
- xp tracker is simple “if you do something, mark square and play - you will count after gameplay”. In cast / kills you will find bold square every 10 for fast counting.
- sheet have same visual style as magic cards ver. 0.2 - glory to the classical 80's/90’s!

Can't comment on your blog (can't seem to get the log in to work [on any blog, not just yours), but I agree with this comment on there:

"Ultimately though, I see it like this:
1) Go with option 1 - it feels for natural, and will be least confusing for new and experienced players alike.
2) Go with option 2, most likely the 'best' solution, regardless of how it initially feels.
3) Put both options forward in your new expansion, and clearly state the pros and cons, as best as space allows."

I personally like #1, and will be using it when I run a campaign later this year, but #2 does have something appealing to it, though I do feel it may do the opposite of the current issue and just encourage spellcasters to try their "worst" spell again and again.

I also like the idea of making casting unique spells more appealing, so I might use #1, but say the 2nd and subsequent time a spell is cast in a game that they get an additional -1 exp (so from the Bone Dart example, 8p the first time, 7 the 2nd, 6p the 3rd and 5xp the 4th onwards).
