rsanford Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Hi all, I have uploaded rules that tweak 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. You can download the file at Please message me if you find typos or unclear rules.

rsanford Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Wow, that is exactly what I have been looking for as a BRP/Magic World supplement, thank you for sharing! Hey - thanks a lot! I really appreciate the call out! You might want to click follow on the file as I will soon post a minor update that addresses how to handle spells that create more than one effect and there may be other updates as well. Also you might want to check out Deep Magic Rebuilt which takes a different approach but addresses many of the same concerns. Moonowl67 has uploaded his rules to this site as well. Happy gaming! 1 Quote Check out our homebrew rules for freeform magic in BRP -> No reason for Ars Magica players to have all the fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsanford Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 All, I have updated these rules to the latest 1.6 version. I apologize for having two versions (1.5 and 1.6) but I wasn't sure how to delete the previous version 1.5. As before these rules are inspired by Deep Magic and Ars Magica and tweak Deep Magic's spheres and glyphs and add 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 I highly recommend readers purchase Chaosium's excellent Advanced Sorcery book. The are a lot of small changes in this update but the bigger changes include: Changed the rules for wizardry skill rolls to account for spell level and wizardry skill penalties. Added optional rules for spells causing multiple effects. Revised and expanded wizardry fumble table. Added a description for the sample spell Shape Change. You can find the rules in the download section at Please let me know if you find errors or typos. Thanks!

Chaot Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Excellent. I'm really happy that there's so much interest in moding this magic system. I never thought it got the attention it deserved when it came out in the Unknown East. I also feel that it can really use the tweaking.
