[PnP] Exhaustion

[Tobie Bonahoom]

One way my group did it was when the mage reached a certain EL (not 
remembering what it was exactly) I think EL 6 or something like that, we 
allowed for the movement factors or the speaking to be silent (meaning they 
did not have to do it any more - similar to innate magics) and then if they 
could ever - most like never - reach something like 12 or 15 EL then they 
could cast the spell without movement or speech. It also tripled the mana 
cost to cast the spell that way.

Just some ideas.
