I’ve always felt like it could be fixed or tweaked into a more usable system.

To quickly answer a couple points:<br /><br />1) YES- Powering magic still requires ST drain<br />2) YES- ST may be yours or someone/something else's<br />3) NO- you do not have to choose any common spells<br /><br />While not discussed in detail above, this also makes things like finding a scroll or a spell book a potential treasure trove. What sort of "power word" might be unlocked. What if some ancient sorcerer cracked some mutant spell uniting 2 or even 3 of the magic schools? From a Referee and players point, there is a lot of creativity possible and some very unique treasures to create.

I think I'm in love! I LOVE what you've laid out here! And I think you may have actually managed to simultaneously square the circle AND have your cake and eat it too! I hope that the spending ST to cast spells idea is still in there (and that you can draw ST from either yourself or from others -- via sacrifice, presumably -- since that still seems extremely important in Swords & Sorcery forms of magic in the literature... (I'm also hoping that ritual magic makes an appearance, but that may not work with everything else!)<br /><br />Third, since everyone always has a "better" idea; I'd like to propose (purely for your consideration) the possibility of players electing to ignore the "common spell lists" (i.e., the list not being REQUIRED for play) and instead just go with the words of power concept! I think that for more experienced players, that option might just be what they are looking for in an S&S style game!<br /><br />Again, I REALLY like where you're taking this so far! Also, I very much look forward to seeing your wife's art work! She's done a great job with your other covers and I have no doubt she'll hit these out of the park too.Jeff V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09773383148220245208noreply@blogger.com
