Spell memorization Options

[Shadan]

I am new in IA. Played BG2 some years ago, now I want to try IA. I read that new version will come out soon, so I have a suggestion.
In PnP version you can memorize a lower level spell into a higher spell slot. At least it is in 3.0 and 3.5, I am not sure about 2nd ed. since I am plying 3rd ed. since years. So you can memorize for example one lvl 1, 2 or 3 spell into one lvl 4 spell slot. This would help when you need important buffs for example Chatoic Command, but you want to use some ohter lvl 4 spells also...
Just an idea for IA 4.3.

Is 1-4 damage and healing not affected by MR enough to make it a good spell? Maybe after you're done casting all buffs and debuffs that the fight requires and no other spells will affect enemies or party members, but wouldn't you do more damage going melee with a staff or something? (Still at range since you can attack from behind frontline fighters)

The difference is that the spell doesn't require you to roll a "to hit" dice at least. I didn't say that it will do miracle, but it's not bad as a 1st level spell against some enemies.

EDIT: What a simultaneity, Baronius!
