Lunars do indeed use common magic, but for specialised magic use 'Lunar Magic', as Trotsky stated.

As I believe Rory has said in a prior e-mail, this approximates theism/animism/sorcery in form, method and game mechanics [as much for ease of description as anything else -- though it has evidently raised some queries! :)] but really is a separate system with its origin in a separate...

Lunars are indeed at home on the Moon; but as to the other Otherworlds, in general, I'm afraid not [those Lunars get enough breaks as it is! :)]. But there are always exceptions that muddy the waters, and a major one is detailed in ILH-2.
