Re: Idea: The Order will have to defeat not only Snarl, but also gods!
Mortals, being made of three divine essences are more "real" than gods and therefore would always win a fight against a god of a similar level. It doesn't matter that a mortal's attack does three time as much damage against a god than it does against a fellow mortal when that god has 3 orders of magnitude more HP and their attack deal 2, 000 HP loss per turn (numbers made up on the fly to illustrate the point).
The Snarl, however, is in the right ballpark for the difference in number of quiddities to matter. A second Snarl might be too. They don't know for sure but they don't feelblike risking it.Forum Wisdom

Experience points are a quantification of your experiences. They are not your experiences. I mean, you could certainly have a setting where it works as you suggest, but I think if we're connecting the two in that way that it would be that a (temporary) loss of memory could result in an accompanying (temporary) loss of xp and possibly abilities.
In terms of spell xp cost, I think it's more like casting these spells requires so much energy/will/whatever that it weakens you somewhat, possibly causing you to lose access to certain abilities (if you lose a level) until you are "recovered".
But I don't think your experience points are literally your experiences and losing them means you forget your experiences is meant to be the standard.

Blog Read and Comment! I use green for joking and Blue for sarcasm.
Published two Kindle Books on Amazon, both are 99 cents. Ask Me about them!
