[QUOTE="freyar, post: 6168795, member: 40227"] I just don't see the point in having such a complicated Mirror Magic ability complete with a table of what mirror magic spell levels work where in the Outlands. It's overkill for what should be a pretty basic creature, especially since mirror magic is "a very minor sort of utility-centered magic craft." But I think the key issue is the very brief mechanical bit at the end: "Mirror magic only works in the skilled hands of the kamerel. The spells (which are more appropriately thought of as special abilities) presented here will not function for any non-kamerel caster. For purposes of the Outlands’ cancellation of magic, all of these abilities should be considered to be the equivalent of 1st level spells." You want to use the "only kamerel" bits to duplicate the entire magic system just for the kamerel, while I'm focused on the "special abilities" part of the mechanical description. Especially since it sounds flavor-wise like mirror magic has a pretty limited spell list, I wouldn't write such a complicated ability for it. But what I don't really understand is why you don't like my proposal in [URL="https://www.enworld.org/index.php?posts/6127338/"]post 20[/URL], which basically does the same thing your proposal does but with a lot less extra text.
