    right now you get more bang for your buck (CTN wise) by combining two Tier 1 spells for example.

    players should look at casting a base spell with an adaptation as a viable choice, adding 1 adaptation +3 adaptation should be easier then casting a two Tier I spells as an advancement spell.

    right now
    Tier I spell (18) with one advancement is (21)
    Advanced Tier I/Tier I (18+18-15) is (21) and far better then any advancement…

    while the highest Tier +6 seems a solid quick fix, it bones high Tier/Low Tier combinations.

    Consider the effects of 2 tier 3 or 2 tier 4 spells being combined. What’s the real power of that effect?

    Compare that against melee and ranged equivalents plus whatever non-maneuver effects you feel would be in place with Talents and gear. Is whatever the difference is between the two the right amount?

    If not adjust accordingly.

    I’m not sure how the High Tier / Low Tier are boned?

    Here’s new Math with the Highest CTN + 6 (Which is about the equivalent of adding 2 Adaptations to a spell, which is what you said you wanted)

    Assuming a Caster that has d10 casting die and +3 Casting Stat and adds +3 / Tier:
    Tier I spell (CTN 18) + Tier I spell = CTN 24 (Avg Arcanum Result: 18-21)
    – Compare with: 2 Tier I Adaptations: CTN 24

    Tier I + Tier II spells (CTN 21) = CTN 27 (Avg Arcanum Result: 21-24)
    – Compare with: 2 Tier II Adaptations: CTN 27

    Tier I + Tier III spells (CTN 24) = CTN 30 (Avg Arcanum Result: 24-27)
    – Compare with: 2 Tier III Adaptations: CTN 30

    Tier I + Tier IV spells (CTN 27) = CTN 33 (Avg Arcanum Result: 27-30)
    – Compare with: 2 Tier IV Adaptations: CTN 33

    It’s the equivalent each time to 2 “+3” Adaptations.
