I guess initially at least I would have no problem creating the 4 spell books and just rotating them each game session.It will give everyone a feel for how each Mage plays and also alleviate most of the problems I mentioned. :)
I do want that surprise factor though! I am thinking that maybe it would be possible to construct 70% of each mage spell book and allow the players to then complete them.
With four spell books I would imagine the remaining card pool will not be so big. I could place the creatures, enchantments etc. each into their own pile and then go round the table allowing each player to pick one or two cards at a time. You could organise the spell book so that the last few pages held the drafted cards and this would reduce setup time.
The above option may detract from the fun a little so I may also try creating each spell book but having a few out of school surprises in each.
Guess I will have to experiment and see what works! :cool:
