Re: Supermages [Powers/Supers]
Really really long time ago.
Powers were pretty basic and he relied a lot on the Eye of Agamotto. Spells were pretty basic, Astral Projection, binding, counter spells, shields, and bolts. He had to use the eye to gate to other dimensions in the early days.

IMHO Magery (Ritual Path) differs so much from any other version of Magery it should have been called something else. More over it doesn't seem to follow the "rules" regarding magery. It states "Magery 0 allows you to cast spells at full skill; without it, you are at -5 to work rituals. See Non-Adepts and Magic (pp. 19-20) for more. Magery 0 grants no other benefits – it cannot detect magic, etc." But No Magic Item Sensitivity is a -20% limitation ergo Magery (Ritual Path) 0 should cost 4 points not 5 but nothing about this price difference is mentioned. Furthermore IMHO you should be able to sit down with normal magery and via enhancements and limitations "build" Magery (Ritual Path) which is true of Power Investiture: Power Investiture is effectively Magery (Functions as a Different Talent +0%; Sanctity Replaces Mana: +-0%; Inspired Learning +20%; No Spell Prerequisites +30%; No Zero-Level Requirement +10%; -10% for Magery with Pact limitation; No Magic Item Sensitivity -20%; Limited spell list -30% (for access to the equivalent of two collages) Yet where do you even start with all the special rules? It reminds me of Magic Power which was such a bad idea that it was quickly forgotten. |
