This is mostly just an idea that came into my head, but I think it could work.
Basically, you have a wizard, who writes spells into their spellbooks, but then I tried this variation.
Everytime the spellcaster learns a new spell and writes it in their spellbook, they make an intelligence to see if they memorise it. If they do, they would be able to cast it without any preparation with the system below. The DC for the check could be 10+spell level, so to learn fireball, you would need 13.
Instead of having to prepare their spells every morning, they have no spells per day and instead cast every spell via a skill check of spellcraft.
The DC to cast a spell would be equal to 10+spell level+targets level
So, if you wanted to cast fireball at a fourth level fighter, it would be 10+3+4, so you would need 17.
The downside to all this is that casting spells becomes so much more than the odd concentration check.
I'm not sure if it would work, but I would like some feedback.
