yes, burning wheel. What about Sorcerer? The Shadow of Yesterday? Both of these latter two have the conflict-to-conflict resolve: kickers, keys, et al.
This makes WMW go "Sorcerers burn out or quit."
I have a hard time imagining the tensions involved in sorcery surviving long-term play. A former sorcerer might be an interesting continuing character, but for some other game, presumably.
This makes JK go "Sorcerer & TSoY"
I think Sorcerer has greater long-term potential than we think, especially if we play with what happens when Humanity = 0.
TSoY has Transcendence, which the player chooses by putting a skill up to Grand Master level and then waiting for that skill to get the successes necessary to Transcend the PC.
