... or, the suggested scale of modifiers greatly exaggerates the degree to which specific magic is essential to the whole process, I would suggest. (Though I wouldn't say that either of the above aren't factors at all, I hasten to say.) If the net result is to make reproduction orders of magnitude more dangerous and/or unlikely without such magic, it fails my test for 'feels right for a world that's supposed to be mythically resonant with our own' both in principle, and in practice (since such circumstances aren't even that unlikely, even in Glorantha).
But if your intended application isn't Glorantha, and/or if your game world sensibilities are different, this may of course be wildly inapplicable.
Cheers,
Alex.
