Simple - a magician can't concentrate on two effects at the same
time. But maybe high-level characters should be able to. How about a
system where at any one time, the combined level of the spells in
effect can not exceed the character's level. If a level 3 mage casts
strength, and then burning hands, the strength spell will cease to
function. A level 4 mage would have no problem with that combination,
however. Since the how many pluses a Strength spell gives you depends
on your current level (it used to, anyway!), I am not sure if another
diminishing returns system is needed.

I'll grant you that. Maybe add the command "dispel <spell>" and let
the user bind "dispel levitate" to a key.

A high-level character can throw more fireballs, cast more heal
spells, etc.  You suggestions would mostly help _fighters_, and IMO,
fighters are too good magicians already (and vice versa!)
