The system is still up in the air since I'm trying to find something that's speedy and flows with storytelling the best, also I have this silly idea that the base stats of characters don't change, instead leveling up gives more options in the form of points you can spend to get new songs, and modify existing spells to fit your character better.
As far as classes go, that was the basic idea, though the spanner in the works is the Orator class. I was thinking of making the battle mechanics of the classes vary slightly or completely so they ~feel~ different to play from one another.
Funnily enough, the inspiration for that is from a cardgame that I've been playing called Vanguard, where the different clans, which act like the colors of magic, have different ways they play such as the ghostly pirates resurrecting each other from the grave and the knight dudes calling each other from the deck.
Perhaps, the system for classes that I could use is that the different stats determine different things, such as giving you more dice or requiring a smaller roll to succeed, though the way the die are used or what they determine is different. Something like that I guess, though my ideas are pretty malleable and ready for differing thoughts at this stage.
