Spellcrafting

Spells work on a basis of EXP and TP cost. EXP is used to upgrade the complexity of a spell. It adds special effects, makes spells ranged, change or add damage types, and generally make it more versatile. TP is used to upgrade the power and effectiveness of individual effects, increase damage, extend range, and create wider AOE's.
Its important to note that EXP is expended to learn / create the spell, while TP is spent to cast the spell. It is also important to note maximum Spell Complexity, which is simply equal to a spells total EXP cost, and with the lowest tier of magic (Mage Novice) sits at 10.
All spells have a base TP cost of 2.
