Re: [Sorcery] Michael's daily sorcerous spells thread
Our first Control (Natural Phenomena) build. I spent a lot of time going through canonical GURPS sources to figure out the game effect of clouds and as far as I can tell, whenever this has been addressed the effects have been quite minor, so I built this on the assumption it would rarely offer a ±1 bonus/penalty. Of course, the spell could have a much bigger impact on aviators, especially early aviators flying by the seat of their pants, but this is tricky enough to pull off that I didn't think it warranted requiring more levels of Control.

Re: [Sorcery] Michael's daily sorcerous spells thread
I reluctantly skipped over Create Air Elemental, because I was unable to come up with a satisfactory way to do it. The best approach might be Allies (Summonable), but I couldn't come up with a satisfactory way to distinguish it from more typical summoning spells that really do just temporarily pull a creature from another plane. Thus, today's spell is Destroy Air, which is only complicated because of the need to add an Innate Attack for use against air elementals.

Re: [Sorcery] Michael's daily sorcerous spells thread
I'm uncertain whether oxygen-to-nitrogen or oxygen-to-CO2 is a better fit for the rules in Magic for noticing the change, copied below. I ended up going with CO2 because that makes the effects more comprehensible for a society that is just beginning to develop modern science (such as 17th century Europe).

Re: [Sorcery] Michael's daily sorcerous spells thread
I wrote up a version of today's spell awhile ago and then two days ago panicked because my build no longer made sense to me. So I created this thread, which led to me deciding to price "Mortal Wound" as a +250% enhancement on Affliction.
