Low magic variant for TFT

[hcobb]

The Earth's iron core is great. It produces a gigantic magnetic field that protects against cosmic rays and imposes the -4 DX iron adjustment for all spellcasters this side of the Moon. Wearing iron armor imposes no additional restriction because the effect is swamped by the Earth herself.

I sorta like the notion, but its effect is lower Efficacy*, not lower Frequency. I wouldn't want Wizards to be weaker, just rarer.




* (If Magic were Electricity, would this be Voltage, Amperage, or Wattage?)

Have the wizards buy Magnetic Awareness talent https://www.hcobb.com/tft/new_spells.html#Talents and they will be rare.

thats been exactly my explanation for why our alternate earth is not fulla wizards!

If cidri is an artificial construct world, with a surface area like jupiter but 1 earth gravity, obviously the middle is some dispersed honeycomb structure .. low mass, and no iron core, a mag field as weak as luna or mars

.. which means compasses should not work, tough luck sailors, if you cant see the sky today you cant tell direction .. also any active volcanoes are some mnoren built fireworks machine for decoration

It also helps to reduce magic if you keep the original Advanced Wizard -4 for casting spells if you are not a wizard, which does stack with the -4 for having metal.
