Elements of Magic

[Razuur]

Hah... don't worry. My lack of patience relates to all things.

This just happens to be one of my current objects of impatience!

Thanks!

colors of magic=?

Hey Cyberzombie?

So is Black Magic inherently evil (as in "Black Magic")
and is White Magic inherently good (as in "White Magic")
or are they just color references to them being different types of magic?
Like white is healing type, red is fire type..etc?

No, black and white magic were inspired by the Final Fantasy games. (As I developed the concept, the names are about the only similarities, though.) Black magic is more stereotypically "wizard" -- fireballs, lightning bolts, etc.; big, flashy spells. White magic is more "cleric" type magic -- healing and death magic.

The colors/types of magic almost remind me of the Order vs. Chaos from some books I read a while back.

Black is chatic is the way that it "breaks" things and rips them aparrt.

White is lawful/order in the way that it put things toghter and creates.

Green is Netural because it does neither and both.

Deities

So if there is no divine magic in your system how do you handle servants of deities.

Do deities even exist?

That's not quite what he said. What he said was that there was no distinction between arcane and divine magic. You can describe the "source" of magic however you want to!

Both types of magic are in there:

Black magic is more stereotypically "wizard" -- fireballs, lightning bolts, etc.; big, flashy spells. White magic is more "cleric" type magic -- healing and death magic.

Ah sounds cool.

I can't wait to take a look.

I haven't bought any PDF games but this one may just break the mold. It sounds wonderfull

Netnomad: While I don't have that as part of tEoM, you could apply that to it very easily.

Tuerny: As Morrus said, while there is no divine magic, that doesn't stop you from using tEoM with the deities of your choice.

Ace: Thank you! I appreciate that. (And the same appreciation goes to Tuerny.)

Any update on when this will be out?

It sounds very interesting, and I keep watching for it. Any updates on when it will be available?
