I though most people disliked the idea that the GLS is "it's only a game"? So MRQ got something else wrong - the more I read of their productions, the less this surprises me. Actually, what does surprise me is that Iron hasn't been moved off to Expansion Pack 13a, the one with glossy hard covers and three pages of content, most of which is art-work...

Exactly. In Glorantha, as documented over many years, Iron can be magically changed so that it does not affect the user's magic. If a new rule set fails to mention this, then it is wrong, or at the very least incomplete.

Discarding everything written on the subject so far, because a new rule set got it wrong? My Glorantha is based on *Glorantha*, not on a rule set. So how did this change occur, in Glorantha? Answer without reference to any rule-set, please...

My campaign? Hardly the point. How about every campaign set in Glorantha, with the possible exception of a few post-HQ, started by people who didn't know how enchanting the stuff worked? How about every major NPC documented, the ones with the iron weapons and armour, which did not affect their magic because they'd attuned it?
