[QUOTE="boredgremlin, post: 2245661, member: 31646"] Lol yeah thats the mage premise. Its based on the idea of everyones collective belief. Basically all reality is subjective and the mage is gifted enough to reweave reality to some extent. However he has to overcome the sum total of everyone elses belief in what "reality" is. So since most people in the modern world think you cant throw a ball of fire from your hands its very hard for a mage to do and the force of reality can smack him for it. Its does say that greater feats of magic were possible in earlier ages though. So in a D&D setting the players could get away with more because most everybody believes magic is possible. Its an interesting premise. But mainly i am suggesting the set of modifiers they have. There are modifiers to the spells for everything from how long it lasts to its range or whether your using the Foci items the character believes he needs for magic to work. Using a system like that for freeform magic is probably easier then trying to make your own. Since people have allready playtested it all to hell and found the bugs. [/QUOTE]
