That's an interesting point - with the limit of 12 power dice, it's hard to 'magic up' your game. I guess what is meant is that the randomness of the level is what you want to control.
I've played a number of games where the magic has rolled up low and left you high and dry - a big risk for a magic heavy army.
I actually like the fact that Magic has been tamed in this way (except when it comes to my Vampire Counts).
You now have to plan on which is the most useful spell to use that turn than launching lots of magical missiles.
On the defense side, as you can only take 1 Dispel Magic Scroll, I've started looking at the other arcane items available to see if they are worth using - still not sure.
