Re: Ceremonial Magic used to support an army.

[Tangent] I could see the argument that Healing (and thus Youth and Resurrection) should be handled differently, that the limitations on such spells are based on the subject's tolerance to magical alteration. In such a setting, penalties and limitations for multiple healing spells would transfer from one mage to another, and maybe even stack with each other. Instead of being "One try per X time" or "-3 to repeated attempts for X time" it would be "-N to all subsequent healing spells for X time". Spells that are currently impossible would give, say, -10 per attempt. This means that if someone had Youth cast on them within the month, it would be nigh impossible to heal their injuries. Critical Failures under such conditions could be especially gruesome, as the subject's form twists under excessive manipulation... [/Tangent] Of course, that's not the way RAW Magic is written. Just an interesting thought experiment. |
