Pyramid #3/109: Thaumatology V
Thaumatology, the study of magic, is something that Pyramid has tackled more than any other subject, and yet there are still infinite things about it to cover. That's what makes magic so interesting; there are literally no limits to what it can bring to your campaign. So it's no surprise that Pyramid #3/109: Thaumatology V contains a wide variety of mystical notions:

Re: Pyramid #3/109: Thaumatology V
"The Glorious Book of Valadir is filled with inspiring spells of salvation, strong enough to one day make this a perfect world . . . which, ironically, is exactly the problem, and the danger, in using it."
(Maniacal laughter)

Re: Pyramid #3/109: Thaumatology V
If something makes a world "perfect", and yet that world being "perfect" is a legitimate problem, then it did not, as a matter of factual tautology, make that world "perfect".

Author of Magnum Opus here. Just wanted to say a big "thank you" to Steve Marsh for all the cooperation and back and forth during the editing process. Hope y'all like it :)

Perfect for me would be a nightmarish dystopia to you, and vice versa.

Re: Pyramid #3/109: Thaumatology V
What Flyndaran said. The Book can bring forth a perfect world . . . which might be great if we were all perfect people, no?
Read the article for details. :)

Re: Pyramid #3/109: Thaumatology V
Is "Magnum Opus" for general GURPS use or Dungeon Fantasy GURPS?
Some things convert from DF easily, some not so much.

Re: Pyramid #3/109: Thaumatology V
General GURPS, attached to GURPS Magic alchemy rules - though you could probably use it with a different source for potions with very little added effort.

I believe the two systems can be reconciled without much effort, though I'm a bit too swamped at the moment to tackle that myself. If anyone else wants to do so, I'd be happy to offer my critique.
