I played an old mmo with a discovery based magic system. Some people adored it, but the reality is, it is frustrating to not know what your results will be.
At least there'd be no reason to bot it, but still... Also, with the database usually listing what all items take, how would that work?
I'm brutally dating myself here, but Asheron's Call at release had an extremely complex spell system based on components. Eventually it all went to scrolls, but at the beginning, I remember the experimenting. I found self debuffs by accident.
