Subject: Regaining Divine Magic
Message-ID:
Date: 21 May 93 21:34:20 GMT
X-RQ-ID: 844
(Sorry if this hangs back a bit, but I have to pay my own phone bills, and
contact my account once a day only...)
In X-RQ-ID 785, Boris answered to / asked Nick Brooke about how to regain
divine magic on holy days.
(On Friday the thread continued, giving priests rather overpowering gains of
3 points per day)
I'd suggest that characters who want to regain divine spells on high holy
days spend the day in prayer and meditation etc. and partake in the service,
then rolling for Ceremony.
If succesful, they stay for the necessary number of days to regain the magic
(1 day/point of spell).
Although I stick with the "initiates: on High Holy Days only" concept,
I'd give no limit to the number of spell points of a spell an initiate can
regain over the years - I see little point in Storm Bull Initiates who call
themselves berserks not to be able to regain this very spell. Instead, I'd
have them perform successful ceremony twice before allowing them to regain
one use of the spell.
(I'd introduce some more cult ranks as intermediates, about halfway to Lord
membership (having mastered two of the skills) or acolyte membership, slowly
easing the access to regainable divine magic.)
I do miss some common divine spells I want to outline here: (gamma releases)
Spiritual Reenactment
1 point, stackable, reusable, ritual (ceremony)
to be cast to participate in or to facilitate a cult heroquest, e.g. as one
of the Vinkotlings in the battle against the Luatha in the far west as
described in the KoS description of the Lightbringers' Quest, or to open the
heroquest path for some chosen few, giving them extra will (or the like).
Each event would have its own spell. Sacrificing for this spell is a sign of
great piety (or despair).
Consecrate Ground/Altar
(Maybe as a one use, permanent variant of the Issaries Create Market spell,
as ritual ceremony/enchant)
Hasn't anybody else wondered about how to consecrate a shrine? To consecrate
a temple or otherwise more powerful structure, more castings or maybe POW
sacrifices of the whole parish (or all its leaders) might be necessary.
This might also be a way to increase temple defenses.
Opinions?

Yeah. I don't know about French, Japanese or Finnish magazines, but there is
another RQ-mag online, and I'm the editor. So, if you don't mind being
translated into German... (MOB doesn't!)

We do take non-Glorantha scenarios, but in general I agree with MOB.

Well, I can't promise that, but: I'm interested, too.
If anybody is interested in more info, contact me by email.
BTW: Are there finnish RQ-players around here who could give me some help
about finnish language RQ-mags? I'm an advanced beginner in finnish and
need to train...

The following is a list of items I have worked up for my Pavis-based RQ
campaign. I found the lists in the RuneQuest 3rd edition set and the fourth
editon manuscript to be very much lacking. This has been cooked up over several
years and has been converted through several different game systems and
campaigns, so it may not all make sense, but most of it should work.
Some of the items below have been culled from pre-existing RQ works, notably
the third edition GM's book and the Pavis Pack. Most of it has not.

I do believe you're confusing the Chaos and Disorder runes. Disorder
would promote unlawful activities, not Chaos. Chaos is the opposite of
lawbreaking, as well as of law. Ompalam worshippers, for instance,
would NOT break laws, nor would Gark worshippers.
