<<Greg Sed, fairly recently, that Spirit Magic can be improved by experience. Anyone out there know what he meant exactly? ie have mechanics been invented yet, or not? Does this mean, for instance, that Bladesharp 2 can be improved to Bladesharp 3? >>
While that's a possible interpretation of the comment, I think it more likely that he was indicating that the current mechanic of POWx5% for spirit magic use is inaccurate, and that a skill system similar to that of sorcery would be more appropriate. I would suggest that if you want to do this you make Bladesharp as a whole a skill, and that the skill% is separate from the point level. So if you have Bladesharp-2 50% you can learn Bladesharp-3 in the same way as at present, but if you want to get better at casting it, you have to improve your Bladesharp skill.
But it may be better to wait for Hero Wars to come out; even if you're not going to use it directly, it may give a better idea of how Gloranthan magic works if you're thinking of changing your existing magic rules anyway.
Yours, Trotsky
