Looks good, IF. A couple of questions...

--Will spells be a 'one-spell-per-drone' type of thing, or will you be able to put, say, 6 level 1 spells on a level 5 drone? (And is the tonnage of the level 5 drone supposed to be 8kT?)
--How will spells deal their damage? Will they have to strike the opposing mage (a warhead), have a one-shot or repeating beam, or a mixture?
--Did you know you have Extend Spell listed twice, for both Meta-Magic 1 and 3?
--When can we start playing? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

You can place multiple lower level spells on larger drones. However, the higher level spells are better. I'm thinking that the meta-magics will be Mounts. So, a level 3 spell with some meta-magic will require a level 4 or 5 drone. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif The level 5 drone may or may not supposed to be 8 KT. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

--How will spells deal their damage? Will they have to strike the opposing mage (a warhead), have a one-shot or repeating beam, or a mixture?
Well... drones fire their weapons once at a target, and then ram it, so both. Some spells will be a better "weapon" and others will be a better "warhead".

--Did you know you have Extend Spell listed twice, for both Meta-Magic 1 and 3?
Ack! That is a typo. The level 3 one is supposed to be named something else.

--When can we start playing?
In the future. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

For Intelligence, I am thinking of removing sabotage projects. The Counter-Intel will be very weak, allowing for many espionage projects to succeed. These espionage projects will represent spells of Divination.

Hm, how about giving the Staffs a limited attack ability? You can bash other wizards over the head with them after all! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Or maybe point-defense for warding off enemy spells & monsters... Or would these abilities cause wizards to rush in to hand-to-hand combat and getting themselves killed?

The staff is more of a "spell focus" than a weapon. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Although we can never deny a staffs good ol' head bopping abilities.
