We're probably at the edge of Greg telling me "Stop that, you're breaking
NDA", so this will be the last I say about Common Magic:
Stuff from your "100 words" (even magical feats/affinities/whatever) can be
raised with HP and (subject to narrator approval) an affinity from your 100
words might even be Devotee-style (hey, you can always try...). Common Magic
is less useful - can't be raised, can't really be changed (except to drop
it), lesser functioning magic, etc.
