No, I meant it. RW Mundane Law says inter alia that bumble-bees can't
fly, and that Uri Geller can't bend spoons. And it's wrong. But, in both
universes, Mundane Law is not the only Law around and Mythic Law does the
job nicely. This is rather more important in Glorantha than in the RW,
unless you desperately need a bent spoon.

I see mysticism as just another branch of Mythic Law, myself. Not a
branch I know much about, so I'm ignoring it.
BTW, a private email on the subject started with the assumption that Gloranthan Mundane Law is not the same as RW Mundane Law. This is not my assumption (and that particular conversation won't get any further until we've got assumptions back in line.) Comments? I've always assumed that normal life functions the same way in Glorantha as in the RW unless otherwise stated (assume Hell has a high mass so gravity works).
