[QUOTE="Winterthorn, post: 499419, member: 1702"] [b]Imitation is the highest form of flattery...[/b] Hi... :) While the magic is a big issue to resolve in the Belgariad/Mallorean setting, I found I really liked the "world"! I think I prefer the Belgariad over the Mallorean--the former possessed the new wonder "feeling" on the first reading that the second series lacked... Additionally the Belgariad left such a strong impression upon me with respect to the mix of colourful cultures that [i]I modeled my first homebrew setting on it[/i]! I didn't copy the nations or geography, but I borrowed the cultural concepts, the setting style, and anything that would convey the "feel" of the Belgariad's setting--without directly copying... What an inspiration that series was for me at the time! :D In 3E terms, the magic is rather high powered, yet only a very very small population of denizens have access to it... My first guess is that you'd have to define The Will & The Word as divine magic... Arcane magic seems quite weak in this setting, even though, it seems strongly associated with outsiders of duboius morality... I think a d20 treatment of this setting will require more than just a "plug-and-play" set-up! Good luck, have fun! I remain ever curious on the results ya get... :D -W. [/QUOTE]
