Default Re: Running both Vanilla Magic and RPM?

Here is an example spell loudout from one of my characters, who notably had 24 charm and 24 alchemy slots (we used the 'alchemy has seperate slot pool) method.

5/5 Mana Burst
3/3 Mana Burst, +P
2/2 Mana Burst, Magnum
4/4 Mana Burst, Wide
2/2 Warrior Academy
2/2 Shadow Clone
2/2 Mana Armor
4/4 Healing Charms

10/10 healing potions
4/4 protection cold potions
4/4 Dragon Teeth (skeletal warrior)
4/4 Mana Burst Grenade
2/2 Healing +P Potion


Note, Mana Burst is Mana Burst, +P, Wide, Magnum etc are just different versions of it, and the grenade is just it being used as an Alchemical instead of a Charm

Mana Burst
Spell Effects: Greater Create Magic.
Inherent Modifiers: Damage, External Burning + Area Of Effect + Range + Speed.
Greater Effects: 1 (×3).

Mana Burst - This releases a concentrated burst of raw mana burning anything it touches in the blast area in a brilliant blue white flash.

This Casting: Greater Create Magic (6) + Lesser Control Magic (5) + Damage, External Burning 15d (16) + Area Of Effect, 3 yards, excluding up to 2 subjects (3) + Range, 100 yds (10) + Speed, 100 yds/second (10). 150 energy (50×3).


Boost the amount of damage so to make it hit harder (and be harder and riskier to cast) to make +P and Magnum versions

Increase the Area Effect to make Wide versions

A 'Long' version could be had by upping range/speed. Might be good to up Area of Effect also, since by that point the character in question couldn't hit the broadside of a barn without a really big area of effect

Change Lesser Control Magic to Lesser Create Magic and drop the range/speed for the Alchemical grenade form

And so forth . . . . so this character has an assortment of attack spells ready to be thrown, which are all the same spell. Which she had ritual mastery for and a grimoire of!

Of course, a very smart enemy could be prepared to defend handily against said single spell and render it all moot
