So, the spell point system. I know that some swear by it. I'm working on a homebrew now that would use spell points, and I'm curious about whether this system works well. How does it hold up?

My other concern is with elegance. It just doesn't look good; maybe there's too many prime numbers or something. Is there a better alternative to be imagined?

The "Better alternative" is psionics, which were actually built with points in mind rather than having points tacked on afterwards. You can read more about them on the SRD (I use this one (http://www.d20srd.org/index.htm)).

I've encountered several spell point systems, under several game systems. To which are you referring?
