Senile Musings

In the first incarnation, Sorcerer was a job title, a package deal of cascade skills, and the magic system for higher magic was complex. It looked better on paper. Still the biggest drawback was that the complexity allowed mages to tweak a more D&D like set of spells. We removed most the control mechanics in the magic me we used; the plumber’s nightmare of magic rules were only understood by my friend and me. So we had to simplify and set guidelines for an honor system. We dropped elemental magic, control and manipulation of the four elements necessary for higher alchemy, outright. We kept wind and earth command as magic objects made with letter magic. We also set up a task chart similar to the Risus Target Number Chart for summoned jinns or demons.
