Hi everyone,

back again with a Gloranthan topic and a lot of questions.

I know that we had this topic some time ago but I would like to resurrect it.

If I follow Sandy then to a Gloranthan all is magic. To breathe is magic, birth is magic and I even to walk is magic. So what would a Gloranthan call a spell ? Would he recognize that it is different from other things he does ?

It seems that in Glorantha there is higher and lower magic (based on the effects of it). The lower magic being one that is done with spirit (MPs) while the higher one is powered by the soul (POW). But what does a Gloranthan feel if he spends MPs or POW ? Is this an act of will or of some instinct ?

When a worshipper of the sun god recites a prayer (and what else is a spell ?) and it fails does that let him think that he didn't get the text right or does he believe his god didn't answer his call ?
