[PnP] pnp Digest, Vol 152, Issue 6

[David Sanders]

I’m of the opinion that players should be encouraged to practice their spells and improve them.  You might consider the permanent gain to increase with the EL of the spell....something like:

Starting Language EL+(5*Tongues spell cast)

It gives reason to keep using the spell instead of a permanent magic item.
