-  normal text.
+* In character updates should be written in the third person prose, present tense, with narration as warranted,

+* Out-of-character updates, questions, ideas, etc. should be wrapped in parentheses. No particular formatting is

-*Note: or psionics, or so on.*
-
-The [optional spellcasting rule](https://callmepartario.github.io/og-csrd/#optional-rule-spellcasting) is very cool but
-the cost of casting these spells, particularly the recovery roll option, seems out of whack to me. Particularly,
-recovery rolls are a very limited resource and scale up in value as tiers (and thus, normal spend) increase, while the
-benefit of burning one stays the same. Meanwhile, we have resource pools *right here* to use.
-
-**Replace** the "**Using a Recovery Roll to Cast a Spell**" paragraph with:
-
-> **Using Strain to Cast a Spell:** If the character spends 4/6/8 (low/mid/high) Pool points as part of the same action
-> to cast the spell (including paying any normal Pool costs for the ability), they can use the ability as an action.
-> This represents a significant mental or physical drain on the character, because the character must draw deeper from
-> their capabilities in order to cast the spell.
->
-> Determining the Pool to draw from is up to the GM. For abilities with their own Pool cost, using the same Pool is a
-> logical choice. Or, perhaps lean towards Intellect as a default, to represent the willpower necessary to pull from
-> reserves and to match the spellcasting flavor. This strain cannot be reduced by Edge.
