What's up, RMers?

From the very beginning I'll admit the following concept isn't new at all. Actually, it seems to be a minor modification of an old idea that has been implemented in RPG's on multiple occasions or something the like.

It's very simple indeed:

• You visit a skill shop and buy some skill a la FF3 (modern international release).
  
• You can use the skill a few times before depleting either your SP / MP or the skill uses.
  
• You can regenerate SP / MP, but you can't cast that skill.
  
• The skill item needs to be recharged for a fee at a store, an inn or some special place.
  It's very expensive as a newbie, but there might be ways to reduce the cost as long as you keep leveling up or mastering skills.
  
• The game might reach a point where a given skill(s) can be learned forever and ever under special circumstances.
  From this point onward, the skill would work just like it has always done it in XP or VX.
  
• Optionally, the whole system might be rendered obsolete once a free access to mana has been restored in your game world.
  

So far, I can't tell if this should just become a script plus some basic events only. There's a chance it might end up becoming a small game / playable demo instead. This doesn't mean I'd have the intention to ever finish this minor project at all. Once the concept is proven and runs smoothly, there's no point in fully developing the whole story behind the script's features.
