Wizards & Witchery

I've been thinking about running a game of D&D, to the point where I actually bought some 5E sourcebooks. But not official sourcebooks--third party ones that overhaul the magic and combat systems called Spheres of Power and Spheres of Might, because I really don't like D&D's magic system and if I run a game I'd want to totally overhaul it. I write a lot about tinkering with the magic system, like in this post about Dark Sun's magic vs. psionics or this post about deciding between different magic systems for a homebrew game, but I've never really done a post about my problems with D&D magic, so this is that post.
