For anyone who might be interested and would like to reuse…have at it.
Those are some nice house rules! I’m a big fan of “spells don’t get lost until you cast them at least once” from Sly Flourish list. I know this may be a bit overpowered and less OSR style but it avoids making a character useless after a couple of bad rolls.
Yeah, that a good one that I came across and neglected to add. Thanks to you I will make version 1.1.

Very nice. I could see myself picking up a few of these potentially.
I love games with roll to cast, but the way Shadowdark does it by default does feel bad if you’re unlucky. I’ve used the Mork Borg system where each day you can use spells 1d4+INT times. So you never lose access to a spell if you fail its roll, just burns one of your attempts and an action if in combat initiative.
