I believe it was in Sourcery:
There was some mention about the relation between the effort required for a magician to cast a spell and the effect it has (in terms of the effort for the spell being somewhere around the same as actually doing whatever spell you want to cast). I think it was in the context of, explaining why sourcerers aren't a good thing because their spells require too little effort...?
(hope I haven't confabulated too much - it's been a looooong time since I read it...)
Does anyone remember the passage and whereabouts in the book it is?
