Universal costs for spells

[Simonh2000]

The cost of a spell is never taken into account in balance. Try defending the fact that a spell is OP because it costs 5 RPP more, people don't care about it. It is not a valid argument.

on the contrary, the more expensive a spell or tree is, the more prohibitive it is to buy in combination with other powerful spells. if you consider the average 200 rpp as a budget for buying spells, higher spell costs help limit the amount of (for lack of a better term) broken bullshit combinations someone can feasibly make within the same build.
