NOTE: Numbers in brackets are the minimum costs to cast a spell of that magnitude .1 point is permanently lost every time such a spell is cast

It's a note in a BOL Hack regarding to casting spells of higher than cantrips magnitude.

If I'm not mistaken it is the intention that whenever a Second or Third Magnitude spell is cast 1 Arcane Power point is permanently lost. This is similar to Barbarians of Lemuria in which 1 AP is permanently lost when casting a Third Magnitude spell. Spells of Second and Third Magnitude are significantly more powerful than those of First Magnitude and the permanent loss of an AP helps reflect this. Remember that 1 AP is added to the Sorcerer's pool for each level he gains.

If you don't like the rule or want a more free-wheeling high fantasy style of game you can always chose to only have AP loss take place on Third Magnitude or dispense with the permanent loss altogether.

So First magnitude is safe? That's enough for me. Cantrips and 1st M build majority of used spells. Now TNs are bright,too. Thx The Git.
