The more I think about this, the more I think that it could be made
very nice indeed. I like the way that systems like this tend to create
sorcerers with a multitude of capabilities, many of which are seldom used.
I like the idea that sorcerers may end up with spells like Detect Fear,
or spells that allow them to swim in Fire, or animate light, as a side effect
of developing other capabilities.
However, I think that the idea of adding 'formulaic'spells to the system
is going to add immense complexity, reduce backwards compatibility, and not
add to much (essentially splitting sorcery into two quite different systems,
but with much the same capabilities.
I also think that I prefer the term 'domains' to the term 'studies'?
Any feedback?
I am probably going to write up a version integrating the basics of
Burtons system with the RQ4 draft 1.0 soon. If people like it, we could
then go on to integrate the Paul Reilly Presence system, and have a sorcery
system that is mighty fine! (I think if RQ4 does not include these things,
I may well use them anyway).
I will do this in a few days, when I get back from the departmental
conference on Wednesday.
Cheers,
Dave Cake
