We do not restrict Spell casters at all here other than by the restrictions in the rulebook - which came from my rule design in the first place!

Idle thought on Spells
And what "here" are you referring to?

I'm not really found of using restrictions either and we try to avoid them as much as possible as it's not the intention of the game. Especially not a basic part such as spell casting. Mostly we use restrictions when it comes to overpowered characters (Monk has a fate limit of 1 at our table) and Demigod (we only draw and choose from 10 spells, to save a few hours of gameplay). Although we find it interesting to try new things once in a while just to get a new touch in the game.
Me and a friend of mine played our first game of Talisman, 2nd edition Swedish version, and think of ourselves as, not perhaps veterans, but close enough. But hearing about gaming clubs and tournaments makes me feel like a noob all over again or at least like I live in the wrong part of the world to take part of all sides of Talisman. If you ever bring your tournament to Sweden be sure to mention it!

I'm assuming that you aren't playing the Monk correctly if you are using the Revised 4th Edition. He only receives +3 in battle from his Inner Belief special ability. Craft value = Starting Craft only! So you can up his fate value again to 5.

Oh, sorry, not monk, sage. Monk has been weakened enough as it is in new editiions.

Ah, now it makes sense to me. Most certainly in a tournament or club, everyone would want to do just the same, including me. But that's not really the focus here for what the OP presented. And most here (I would guess) do use house rules on and off for 1) a change of pace, and/or 3) the particular group that gathers for the night. I certainly wouldn't even suggest this stuff on a night with a newer or inexperienced player or when the majority wants an official game for the night.
