Steve Maurer's HeroQuest rules include one unexplained (but reasonable) change from the normal RuneQuest rules. In Steve's rules, the titles of Adept and Magus are switched, which makes sense: the definition of an Adept is an expert, while Magus merely means wizard. This explains the seeming anomaly in Steve's Will computation system:

The lines

                +6      For being a Rune Lord / Sorcerer
                +8      For being a Rune Lord-High Priest / Adept

are analogous to

+6 For being a Rune Lord / Adept
+8 For being a Rune Lord-High Priest / Magus

if you are using the normal RuneQuest titles.
