I've submitted these errata and asked for a revised upload.

Eh, if that's the worst of it, you're still doing OK. Thanks for the correct lines!

Consider doing errata the old-fashioned way, and glue/staple a little note to the page :D

Any chance of more of these styles coming out? Say, in an open submission style of collection?

The Spell Variation rules can be found on:

The links are the same I gave earlier but apparently you need to reach them through that page, or they won't work.

I have a quick question about one of the perks. Adjustable Spell has three possible variations. Spell Enhancement allows you to add an enhancement to any spell, Spell Variation allows you to add any enhancement to a spell, but all Enhanced Spell seems to do is allow the use of a single enhancement to a single spell. Is there some benefit Enhanced Spell to it that I'm missing, or is it intended to be a weaker version of the other two, to be used only if the GM wants to make enhancements on spells more difficult to acquire?

edit: Oh, cool.

I believe this is the correct answer.

That's probably the most likely approach, but as the last paragraph of p21 notes, it isn't necessarily a campaign-wide rule. It is possible for different styles to use different forms of the Perk, depending on their teaching methods.

That's feigned enthusiasm. I don't believe you!
