I am thinking that combining mana magic with mythos magic poses some interesting ideas. I would think that mythos magic would be a higher tier and would not be defeated by mana magic as it is a weaker magical source. But I feel that having mana mgic be useless against mythos magic is too unfair. The idea I am having is that mana magic will temporarily relieve the afflictions from mythos magic but after a few hours or other desired period of time the mythos magic affliction will resurface and another mana spell would be needed to alleviate the affliction and so on. A mythos magic spell could counter a mythos affliction but it of course would cause Fright Checks to learn and also to cast.

Ideas would be something like a curse from sort of Elder Thing or item and this curse would afflict the recipient until a Remove Curse from mana magic is cast on it. Unfortunately the curse would resurface after a period of time. Only a mythos magic Remove Curse would permanantly remove the curse.

What do you think of this idea? Thanks.
