This project offers a ritual-like system that both mages and non-mages can take advantage of. In addition, the book is over 75 pages of spells, subclasses, magic items, and amazing artwork that puts the focus on imagination as opposed to combat damage? I’m going to put words into the creator’s mouths as I summarize this: This book is for roleplaying instead of combat roll-playing. If you want your [B]5e[/B] game to use magic for something beyond slaughtering goblins, this may offer you some options.
