You can use someone's truename to dominate them. You can create your own unique spell. And so on.That said, if you wanted to run a low-magic campaign, I think if you simply removed the greenbond and magister characters and used the 'secondary' spellcasters (runethane, mage blade, witch) you could run a low magic campaign that wouldn't be as radically impacted as if you were to take traditional D&D and just ditch sorcerors, wizards, clerics and druids.In other words, you'd easily be able to run a game where magic is low-powered. If you're looking for a world where magic is scarce, that has your typical challenges of healing, dealing with magical beasts, etc. -- just like D&D would.-Thrommel</blockquote>
