In mother 3, why do the characters need to get a fever before learning psi? Why dont they just learn each spell at a certain level?

While this has little to do with game design, it is an interesting piece of artistic design...

Itoi wanted the character growth to have a different feel than just a reward after beating up monsters; so he made the fever system based on how people tend to feel great after recovering from a fever.

Of course, his original idea was that instead of a fever it was.... menstration; you're undergoing psychic cramping (imagine if he had full reign to make the game as intended without Nintendo interference)
