Stuff like this has always got under my skin a bit.  It seems strange that
many high level mages design spells to negate the benefts of warrior
specialisation but argue vehemently against items that will give fighters
full spell casting powers.

I found that the mages and warriors in my campaign got on a lot better when
I rebuilt the system to highlight their vulnerabilities.  It forced the
players to take their choices seriously.  No-one can be strong alone, but a
balanced party of adventurers can take on all that heaven and earth can
throw at them.
