Richard S. Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Would sorcery schools be structured in the same format as rune cults? With cult skills, passions, spells, and all that jazz? I'm trying to make a Lunar sorcerer and there's really not any examples of non-Lhankor Mhy sorcery schools even though the sorcery chapter talks about Malkionism, Aeoliansim, and Lunar Sorcery.

Tupper Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I think you make them as philosophers. However, some of their cults (eg the Invisible God) don’t get a write up in the core book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarumath Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) It's mentioned that Malkioni generally don't get Rune Magic (Maybe the exeptions are henotheists?) so I guess Malkioni Schools are structured like Cults and have skills and spirit magic associated with them but not Rune Magic and instead have sorcery spells for those of the Zzaburi caste (sometimes also those of the others depending on the School) Edited June 22, 2018 by Tarumath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Scott Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 One of my players has done exactly what you are trying to do. He’s a philosopher and I based it on LM and game him six spells. No spirit magic, no rune magic. He warped the spells to fit around the creepy lunar death cult he wanted. We altered a few of the requirements of the spells needed to make it more Death and moon than LM. I’ll look out his character sheet and post it if you if you like. We basically just made it up. And it’s great fun... 2 Quote ----- Search the Glorantha Resource Site: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com.

But I'd certainly allow for dismissal of such based on the Lunar mastery of the Young Elementals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jajagappa Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 2 hours ago, PhilHibbs said: For Seven Mothers, yes. Not for every lunar cult. Correct. I was just referencing Irrippi Ontor. For other Lunar sorceries, we have the Major and Minor Class Schools, and the Carmanians. The latter would seem to have some focus on balancing dualistic powers (e.g. Natha) and powers of Darkness (e.g. from Spol) or Death (e.g. Humakt-related). As for the Minor Class School, we have this short description from HQG: "Lunar Minor Class Magician This male magician from a Minor Class unit is an initiate of the Spindle Hag, whose cultists explore the diverse horrors and solaces concealed within the mysterious realms of darkness and insanity. He wears long robes, a goatskin cloak over his shoulders and ankle boots with long curved toes. His horned headdress is fashioned from goat horns and ears." That suggests some combination of the shamanic practices of Jakaleel possibly with sorcerous rites. Could have spells related to disconnecting the spirit from the body, generating madness and hallucinations, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
