Err... is anything good going to come from this discussion? :)

What I like in the UA system is the fact that we somehow know where the magic
"fuel" (charges) comes from, and that's interesting. There's some kind
of "spell management" that goes further than just "I'm high level enough to
cast 3 of those today". Here everything is volontary (if not conscious). You
have to chose which charges you want, how you get them, how you use them, and
how you _don't_ lose them. Nothing comes for free, which could be applied to
the whole UA game anyway (even the game doesn't ship for free!). (*)

(*): To be a little more precise, there's no "credit" in UA. You can't have
the power first and pay later. No way. You pay first, cash, and then *maybe*
you'll get something. Maybe.

Actually I think the Merchant channel goes against the philosophy of the game.
You shouldn't be able to get something first and pay later, whatever the price.
