FR Question about the Creation of Mythals

[Rabelais]

I know I've seen something, somewhere that describes the creation of the many Elven mythals in the Forgotten Realms. It was probably in Ruins of Myth Drannor, but I don't recall.

Anybody know a good online or offline resource for rules for Elven High Magic, and Mythal Creation?

We're gearing up for a long term campaign dealing in part with Mythals, and would really like to take a look at the published stuff before making it up whole cloth.

 

[Patryn of Elvenshae]

There's some stuff in the Magic of Faerun book, the 3.0 FRCS, and probably in the 3.5 Player's Guide.

I think there's also more in the recent book Lost Empires.

More generally speaking, mythals are a just specific form of Epic-level magic.

 

[IronWolf]

Lost Empires of Faerun has a section on raising a Mythal. It is probably the best current book with information. It breaks them down pretty well as to what it takes to raise one.

I think you may be right though and Ruins of Myth Drannor has some information also that may help you add additional flavor.

Lost Empires is currently the best about raising Mythals. *thinks maybe Orcus followers need to do that to compete these days...*

 

[Rabelais]

I haven't purchased Lost Empires yet, but it's on my shopping list. Were there any other resources y'all might point a brother towards?

 

[Nightfall]

*isn't a brother* I might have biological ones, but I myself am not ethinically one.

And no I know of no others except maybe what's listed here.

i thought you couldn't create mythals anymore. didn't the gods limit the power of mortal magic or something?

 

[Nightfall]

Techinally Mystra doesn't allow 10th level magic but epic spellcasting (which can create mythals) CAN be replicated.
