Getting used to 4th edition?

[LurkerInPlayground]

For someone who says WotC traded "the appeal and romance of magic for the balance" you're being quite unromantic.

But anyway, hey, why buy an iPod when a Sony Discman can practically do the same thing at the fraction of the cost right?

I fail to see your point.

Tenser's Disc has no point. The way it's defined, it's not even very versatile so you can't get creative with it.

Magic lets you do the equivalent of swishing water in your mouth and spitting it back out and makes you pay for he privilege.
