This is... very awesome. I like the idea of moves you activate when needed. You don't necessarily have to risk wasting a daily power when you might miss, you can just follow up a successful strike with an opportunistic combo. It also clearly separates the fighter's fighting mechanic from the wizard's casting mechanic, which is always activated daily-power style (with a few exceptions, like Feather Fall).

"We thought about casting minor spells as the kind of thing a wizard might use around a laboratory that also happened to be useful in a fight. For example, a cantrip used to ignite a torch could also burn a goblin. At the last minute, however, we decided that trying to make that design work would take too long to hit this playtest." - M.Mearls
This is what I expect from DnDNext. Original ideas that may or may not work, but sound awesome. Give us the chance to playtest it and find out if...

I voted for "a combination", but in retrospect I really am a "consume" guy. That said, I personally feel that the 4e MM was a little under-fluffed, and I'd like to see more of that brought back (I really like the 4e phb and dmg, though).

I think that there should be a bit of visual fluff for inspiration, but at the same time I don't want them interfering with the alignment of the text, or the organization of my charts. I feel as although I very much liked the balance in 3e books, that's one complaint I had. I liked the info blocks in 4e, although from memory, I could deal with them being a little more uniform, and a little less "cram all this crap in a tiny card."
Ultimately, the PHB should have the instructions clear and...
