Birthright and a game of thrones

[Lundos2]

Hey all,
I'm new to this site, but very familiar with the Birthright campaign setting. I have all the expansions and add ons, even some special ones on the internet. I've always found that this is the best campaign setting ever. However, I've a some problems with the 3.5E and the low magic/high fantasy part of Birthright. I'd like all the magic items to be special and hard to get, as was the idea in the original game setting (before the adventures and expansions). I've found that 'a game of thrones' (aGoT) rpg campaign setting fitts perfectly to Birthright. Not only is social status and influence included, but relative low HP, shock value and effective armour adds to the flavor. I have a problem with the magic system, though. I've tried to make a fireball with 1d4 instead, but its still too powerful. Then I thought about making it only a realm/battle spell, but where's the fun in that? Cure light wounds with 1d4+1 etc. Anybody have any ideas?
