He can't, so he WILL NOT ever use more than one gem .

If the spellcasting system allowed him to, it would have effects, but id doesn't.


> Why is there a max limit of gems per level? Are you saying:

> a W3 mage casting a spell that costs 3 gems could not commit an extra gem to help against fatige? In the same vein a W3 mage casting a W2 spell that costs 4 gems would simply not be able to cast it period?

Correct! That is why no W2 spells cost more then 2 gems. That is, unless someone has modded a spell into uselessness .

Ahh ok. It's clear now.

So the only time the max limit of gems per level comes into play is when the gem cost of the spell is exactly equal to the level of the caster in the appropriate path. In that case (and only that case) you could not spend an extra gem to reduce fatige.

Correct?

Edit for the record this is pretty much how I thought it worked... but all the other posters got me confused.
