Default Re: Using Non-Mana Based Magic in Infinity Campaigns

I made just about every magic system its own power system with its own set of worlds it did or didn't work on. And I didn't work it out before hand much of the time: sometimes I just rolled to see how well a power worked on say... Gernsback.

You should also remember super science in this discussion. Infinite worlds has many super-science worlds which things that only work on that world.

Psi does appear to work everywhere in the setting. but technological defenses are available and commonly used: psi-shields are standard issue on conveyors, whereas infinity is still trying to understand magic and centrum is essentially in denial of it.

I'd favor lots of nuance in what works on what world. My inclination would be that supers and divine favor and largely limited to the world they are on UNLESS there is some strong reason why they aren't.
