Many years ago, I played a game where spell casters were not limited in how much they could cast. The system had the casters aligned with an element (Wind, fire, water, earth, etc) and you could manipulate one of those as your "spell casting." There were no limits to how many times you could manipulate. I could turn a whole mountain into perfectly formed stairs. The limiting factors were A) each caster was only ever aligned with one force, and B) the difficulty of what you are trying to do. Like turning the whole mountain into stairs would take X amount of time, and the quality of the result would be determined based on a DC assigned by the DM. If you are affiliated with earth, and all you want to do is dig a hole, there is a negligible DC. If you were trying to make Mount Rushmore the DC may be 20. If you are trying to build a castle, the DC may be 30. ETC. Anyone familiar with that system?
