Should there be a cap on mana cost reduction enchantments?

After hearing about this, first thought that came to mind was "game broken". But after hearing that this feature was intentionally placed in the game, i feel cheated knowing that even a brutish warrior stacked with this could spam more spells than someone stacking magicka and regen. What are your impressions? hilariously good fun mindlessly casting spells left right and centre? or annoying broken?

If you think enchanting gear for 0 magic cost is over powered, oh how naive...

Well yes, it is indeed over powered, but this is one of those "tip of the iceberg" type things.

Considering how underpowered destruction magic is at high levels compared to any other combat, I think its okay.

I think they were focusing on Destruction gaining power at high levels by being much easier to cast, rather than having higher damage values. The mage system in this game is trying to be "shooter-like" so getting more "ammo" was their idea, if that makes sense.

Oh yea definitely understand ^.^, as in like a spell machine gun sought of approach. Only thing that this sought of system strikes me out as plain bad is that there's a lack of that raw power feeling if your just mindlessly spamming spells. Id much prefer to use up all my mana in one shot if it actually counted and blew them almost to smitherines.
