Ok i find that its REALLY silly to make the wizard have to waste a turn to channel, ik its fits the setting a bit....but it REALLY amke you not wana be a magic user....so i was thinking...if they train channeling once they get an exp point, making it a manouver ( im not gana try to spell im tired and its late ) to channel, let me know what you think..

Keep in mind that if they add an extra <P> to their Spellcraft while casting the spell, they can Channel and cast in the same turn. They also start with their power at 'equilibrium', and if it's lower it ticks up. So, you could probably escape most cases of wasting a turn channeling.

i knew the quick casting but i must have missed the starting power...thnx!
