[QUOTE="hmx, post: 6295282, member: 6775966"] I agree with this line of thought. I like that any character can learn magic, but I like it in the context that the career system is somewhat akin to multiclassing on steroids. The peasant boy isn't casting magic because he happened to come across an old, dusty spellbook, but because he has a natural talent that he never new he possessed until he came across that old, dusty spellbook and got himself into a bit of trouble. He may not want to devout the time and effort to develop the skill further, but he knows that if something should come up, he has a source that may prove helpful. Some people may like for everyone to simply be able to pick up an spellbook and use it, but as a storyteller, I would prefer that the player invest something for the privilege by either being born to the right race, selecting an appropriate career or spending XP. I don't object to a sidebar stating an option to ignore the requirement for MAG 1 to cast from a spellbook, but I feel that the core rules should include the requirement. [/QUOTE]
