<< ....A Taxonomic Phylogeny of Gloranthan Fauna.
Thinking about it, it makes a lot of sense. The sorcerer gains power over nature by subjecting it to rigorous logical analysis. Knowledge is power. >>
I have a book by Clark Ashton Smith called "Tales of Science and Sorcery" and I am reminded of it whenever Gloranthan Sorcerers are being discussed. It seem sto me that certain sorcerors can be played as if they have a scientific world view; hypothesis, proofs, extraoplating data etc. In fact I think of the later God learners as people applying scientific methods to theistic worship - if I worship this being in this way then I get this result. This is logical but, clearly from the Godlearner example, flawed.
Anyway, Clark Ashton Smith, great author.
