    Fine, but in manga and anime (my primary sources for many a Hero Wars choreography) the character always spends an action to evoke his powers, to have his armor dress him and so on... You know, like he screams something, does some strange moves, is surrounded by an halo of light while the camera turns around him and then... puff! Enter the Hero!

    OK, I understand that many of you don't want Glorantha to become the setting of a fantasy manga... The Record of the Glorantha Wars... ;)
