Yep. Plus Blessings.
> Feats/Affinities = theist magic
Yep. No change there.
> charms/fetishes= animist or spirit magic???
Yep. Charms are 'lucky charms' which provide a simple augment. Fetishes are a bit more flexible. Animists can also get Spirit Allies and a few other wierd bits. Animists have the easiest time learning Secrets by far.
> talents = some strange new non-otherworldly "magic". IS it actually
magic?
Close. As noted earlier, Talents are personal magic. They are derived from the Middle World and from the magician himself.

Sorcery is bad. =) Except for those wierd Torvald guys. They're okay. Kidna. Sorta. Aeolians are still using Sorcery though and they kinda creep out the other heortlings.

That's might be up to Issaries AND SJG...
Of course, the folks who came to Gloranthacon did get previews copies of the game. =)
