Being able to successfully memorise things.
That's part of the early lore that I didn't like. "Yes, let me spend 4 or 8 hours memorizing spells I have casted 8 times."
I always liked the idea of Vancian magic when I played earlier editions, with the concept that part of the toll magic casing takes erases part of your memory, but functionally it was cumbersome. It was definitely time to move on to something more flexible.
Pros of being a mage: good at memorising many complicated spells
Cons of being a mage: also good at forgetting many complicated spells
