What is the source of this quote? Who composed this erratum? Where can I find it myself?

I have found some erratta one the point of Damage Resistance spell's here is what i found

=B7 Page 46:
Damage Resistance: This spell will protect only the body of the target (not possessions on his/her own person). The target's armour first absorbs as much of the damage as it can. The remaining damage is then matched against the intensity of the spell using the resistance table. If the damage overcomes the resistance of the spell then the full force of the remaining damage will affect the target. If the damage does not overcome the Damage Resistance spell, then the blow will do no damage to the target, even in the case of a critical attack. The blow (see Combat Rules) may still knock down the target.
The Damage Resistance spell will protect the target for its full duration. If it is combined with the divine spell Shield or the spirit spell Protection, the damage is first absorbed by the Protection or Shield spells and any armour worn by the target (unless the attack is critical). Whatever passes through is then matched against the intensity of the spell.

Hope it is of use to you all

Have a nice day !!

I understand that living crystals must be Attuned to a character in order to be useful. This involves some time and rolling on the Resistance Table. I think they can be unAttuned at will. Such would allow another character to attempt Attunement at little risk more than loss of time. Another player has insisted that Attunement also requires a POW sacrifice (like for divine magic) which precludes low-risk whilly-nilly swapping of crystals. This player is mistaken, yes?

These spells have been proposed for use in a campaign here. What do you think?

Lesser Fascination

2 points

Ranged, Temporal, Active

The caster must match his own magic points versus the POWer or SIZe (whichever is greater) of the target. If the [target] victim is overcome, he is Fascinated -- frozen in place and helpless until the caster loses consciousness or breaks concentration or the effect is dispelled by magic [or by damage to the victim?].

This lesser Fascination is an active spell and so requires the caster to maintain concentration to continue the effect (hence its lesser cost in MP).

Greater Fascination

4 points

Ranged, Temporal, Passive

This greater Fascination is a passive spell and so requires no concentration (hence its greater cost in MP).

To be able to cast all their spells they need a whole lot of crystals, magic point matrices etc. This brings out a problem. To me the idea of allmighty Magus being able to cast only one or two spells without their trinkets seems more and more odd. Has anyone used some other system for Magic points? Basically, with max POW of 21 even a very talented Adept is capable of casting only few spells without access to their matrices. Which brings another question: how do atheists/monotheists raise their Max Pow? Or do they? For a theist this could be doen via HeroQuest, and spirit talkers have their fetches and legion of spirits, but how about those poor sorcerers and wizards? It doesn't seem rational for them to use spirits to power their spells...

I don't remember the "confusion" spell. If you please, remind me of the text or the reference that I may seek it myself. Do you mean the "Cast Confusion" from RQ4:AiG? I think that is different than these Fascination spells, which are almost word-for-word copied from RQ3 Jack-O-Bear.
