Re: Magic systems on Yrth
I don't believe Banestorm ever specifies which magic system is in use, only which spells are known.

Re: Magic systems on Yrth
I think that the usual assumption has been that standard magic is the most common (probably by far), but not necessarily the only form on Yrth. See the introduction to the Magic section on p23 of Banestorm.

What we get there is "Magic on Yrth works as described in the GURPS Basic Set, Chapter 5, and in GURPS Magic." The thing is, Chapter 5 also describes ritual magic. I have no doubt that standard magic was what they had in mind, but it doesn't actually say that... |

My personal assumption is that a particular system of magic is available unless something in the setting (or the GM) claims it is not, not the other way around. Whether it is common or not is a different matter. . . .

There's an idea: Michaelites having to track down a Monster Hunters RPM Adept.

And something just came to me, do Magic Resistance, Mana Enhancer and Magic Resistance have the Mana Sensitive Origin/Power Modifier, can they take it or is it forbidden? Add Mana Damper to the list as well |
