Steal a god from the KoW and make it your hero band guardian? Damn.

Duly noted. In fact, (this is more a rule thing) it does seem very difficult to figure out how "powerful" magic is in the new system. While I'm all for the breaking away from things like levels and such, magic in HQ doesn't really seem to have that sense of "here are powerful dark magics that you should not try until you are ready". I'm not sure that really is a drawback, or if it is really true. It's more a sense from reading the magic system. LC
