That's the point of course, just his name, good rep and bl9nd white face glued to it. Then prop it up with glitter and golden lights to sell selfishn3ss.
For all they ever wanted was the shiny glory of tha golden calf.
Fair enough.
My approach would be to work backwards: Establish overal themes, desrired spellcaster roles in combat, and then restructuring the content in a balanced (?) way.
Short of actually changing the magic systems mechanics, of course. That'd be a new game itself.
As for the changes I'd make:
Split them by their plane of influence, by: Elemental, Astral, Etherial, Shadow, Feywild, and Outer (?). All get some a mix of in and out of combat spells, with new themes. /

I had the notion of - and I hate to accuse the source with having anything like a good idea - but "Flood the zone with shit" applied to feeding ad services with useless data via mods and apps.
It would need a lot of participation to do much of anything and I'm probably misunderstanding how they work to begin with, but it seems woth consideration.
@godpod Aye, man!
...Best you'll get from me lol
