and they said, "I feel like Spellcasting is supposed to be harder based on this context specifically."

and I said, "But the idea is there
It does mean higher level magic takes longers/costs more And it means that after some points, you need to have people blocking for you so you can cast.
Also, sorceror equivalent of meta magic lets you swap initiative for more energy. (There is no sorceror, its just a skill you can learn)."

and so they said, "ooooooooooooooh"

And I just think that's pretty neat.
