Brief comments on the rules for magic business:

The risk is that the magic rules stray towards a Rolemasterification (!). Ash's obscene simplification of all the rules is great and should be stuck in the rules as an option. But...

There is a great advantage to having more detailed magic rules, which is that HQ is probably about the best game at bringing religion and all that into a game. See this thread, for example:

Worth going to the 2nd page to see what Mike has to say, too.

So there is a baby in some bathwater here.

IMO. Sam.
