So I've been really warming up to the concept of spellcasting rolls instead of spell slots (Vancian or otherwise) in D&D, in general.
A few Youtube personalities have talked about this, including Dungeon Craft and House DM (great vids, check them out), pulling from Dungeon Crawl Classic's spell tables (to some degree, behind the DM screen, anyway).
Having recently adopted Mythras, I truly love this approach. It seems far easier to "hack" this or adjust to taste.
Imagine doing religious rituals or sacrifices to "enhance" a spellcasting roll ahead of time to guarantee a success (or even a critical)?
Has anyone done something like this?
For 3e and up, it seems like it would be relatively easy to implement. Older editions though? How would you do this in, say, OSE or Labyrinth Lord (B/X)?
