John Strauss wonders if the effects of regaining Divine Magic only on Holy
Days would be incorrect for Glorantha or correct.
I like the idea. One of the nice things it would do is explain why the Morocanth et al raided the Eiritha ceremonies in the Paps in the story in Cults of Prax. They raided because it would stop the Eirithans from recovering their spells, and would also stop them from casting their freebie spells (in my conception of the HHD regaining rules).
>Cults will only be at full power right after a
>holy day. If you consider that good and proper, then fine.
I like the idea. At last there's a rules-driven reason why trolls are more dangerous in darkseason.
>Another spinoff is that magic remaining, the day before the holy
>day, is "leftover magic". Cults will be free and easy with this
>magic, because they get it all back tomorrow.
It's also a good lure to get more worshippers! "I'll Heal your broken body today if you participate in the dervish dance tomorrow."
>But note those sneaky lunar missionaries, over in the Teelo Noori
>soup kitchen. Free food for all lay members! But first, let's say
>grace, and thank Teelo Noori and all the Seven Mothers for the food
>that is set before us......
I like this one too. I agree that any worship service ought to result in the regaining of spells, and I would tie the spells that can be regained not to the size of the temple per se, but to the number in attendance at that service.
