Message: <blockquote data-quote="Afrodyte" data-source="post: 7395824" data-attributes="member: 8713">[MENTION=5100]Mercule[/MENTION]Been thinking about this for a couple of days, and I think I should offer some real examples about what I mean when I talk about thinking conceptually.Here's a sample of how you can do the work of "translating" D&D magic to Fate without having to create separate skills or stunts for every spell.ASPECTSTo be able to use magic, a PC needs an aspect that describes the nature of that magic. Some examples:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Magic in My Blood</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sorcerer's Apprentice</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Chosen by the Sun Goddess</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Archfiend Grants Me Power</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">When I Play Music, The World Listens</li> </ul>STUNTSBecause magic is so potent, it's a good idea to link magic stunts are linked to the appropriate Aspect and require invoking that Aspect to limit how often it gets used. Some examples:Healing Touch. Because you are Chosen by the Sun Goddess, once per scene, you can make an Empathy roll to reduce the severity of a consequence for another character by one level. For each additional level of consequence you wish to reduce during each scene, you must spend a Fate point.Arcane Ritual. When you invoke Sorcerer's Apprentice, you can use Lore instead of Will to create an advantage or overcome an obstacle with magic for that scene.Inspiration. When you invoke When I Play Music, The World Listens, you can grant an ally a +2 bonus to overcome an obstacle.War Mage. When you invoke [Aspect], you can use Will to attack and defend using magic for  that scene.Hocus Pocus. When you invoke [Aspect], you can use Will to use magic to create an advantage or overcome an obstacles for that scene.</blockquote>
