Yep. This is a really fun game to play at a leisurely pace against the AI, indulging in eccentric exploration of the many arcane possibilities.

Another practical effect (unless I missed someone mentioning it) is the reduction of fatigue cost of spells that are lower than your level in their circle. I assume this continues for higher levels, so level 17 death would be able to cast death spells with very little fatigue cost. Since some spells have very high fatigue costs, this can turn them from one-shot spells to "cast over and over" spells.

This might also have been mentioned, but I think magic resistance of the target also goes down for over-powered casters.
