I will say that Elements of Magic: Mythic Earth is a good source of ideas. For the most part the writing is clear and the instructions easy to follow. Though I would've liked some sample d20 SRD spells converted to signature spells.For that matter, adapting Ars Magica's formulaic spells to EoM: ME would've been a good idea. That way one could have the d20 SRD spells presented as EoM: ME Formulaic spells. Then again, that could've doubled the page count.The book is very much a d20 Modern tome. Written with a modern sensibility and intended for a modern day game. The Traditions and those signature spells presented are quite modern in application. Still, it is adaptable to a fantasy or fantasy-historical setting.The system also raises questions about the use and presence of magic in a world. Were the High Fantasy setting not modeled after Urban Arcana you would expect the place to be crawling with magical spells, devices, etc.Then again, in a modern, scientific society how magic is approached would be very different than in the typical fantasy or modern fantasy game.Overall, it's a good book. Somethings missing I would've liked to have scene, but it is something you could use in any new campaign world you might be thinking of starting up.</blockquote>
