About This File

The Second Way (TSW) is a set of homebrew freeform magic rules for Chaosium’s Magic World setting. The goal of TSW is to provide a definitive yet flexible way for crafting and scaling spells. Inspired by Chaosium’s Deep Magic and Atlas Game’s Ars Magica, TSW changes Deep Magic’s spheres and glyphs and adds rules for specifying spell range, area of effect and duration as well as for affecting mass, affecting character condition and casting spells against multiple targets. For maximum benefit readers will want to purchase Chaosium’s excellent Advanced Sorcery book.

      Thanks Mankcam! There might be one more version depending on if problems come up in continuing play test but I think it is nearly done.

      Very nice - a truly compelling magic system for D100!

      I really like the random fumble results, but for maximum entertainment value, I would invent 100 different possible outcomes - one for each %....

      Thanks Clarence but if you downloaded the 1.9 version you might want to delete it and download the latest 2.0 version instead.  Somehow I deleted about a paragraph of important text from the 1.9 version. Best regards!

      Not to my knowledge. @Trifletraxor any thoughts? @HaganeHebi if you PM me your email address I will email it to you.

      @rsanford Okay, thx! I’ll send you a PM shortly.🙂 It’s very strange... The green DL button takes me to the v2.0 version of the file, whereas below the list of changes I see another link which says ‘unavailable’ as you can see in the attached screenshot... Anyway, I’ll send you my mail address, so thank you kindly in advance for sending it that way then!
