[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 524465, member: 8439"] One of my favorite parts of the Elements of Magic was turning a lot of spells into skill checks that cost magic points. Its very elegant and reminds me a lot of some of the fantasy magic systems I'm fond of (esp Barbara Hambly). I'm wondering what other skills could be "magically enhanced". The first and most obvious would be Bluff. Rather than being invisible, you get better and better at being unnoticable. As you walk across the room, with a sufficient MP cost bluff check, people simply look down at what they're doing, get distracted by something in the other direction, etc. A MP enhanced Sense Motive would be excellent as well. And of course, adding MP to herbalism, alchemy or craft checks is just cool.... perhaps a magic using class along the lines of "hedge witch" is in order, which has NO spell lists, but increasing MP enhanced skills...
