I am going on about abilities that people can get through the
expenditure of eeps. You still have to purchase what you use and
it isn't just handed ( or quested for/found on those you slay ).

I've played games with Monty Halls and after the initial this is
cool I developed problems with the concept of just being handed
crap. Most all of the items I use I had to work towards getting.
Very few were 'handed' to me ( I have a +3 dagger that was a
present from a certain LL which is the original dagger 590 ).

I'm just saying that since it is not impossible to do it should be
incorporated approprietely to be allowed. Dissallowing the possible
because it is rare is a denial of reality as we live. If people in
the real world can do things there is no reason why those in a
Fantasy world can't do the same ( barring technology ). Plus in
the game we already have spells.
