[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 3194749, member: 2067"] Can you imagine what would happen if the core rules made female sorcerers loose power for a day or three each month? Hahahahhaha...:) No, anime magic is cool, but D&D reflects the science/faith devide we have here in the west when it comes to approaching the Unseen World. One group studies it, one group worships it, and the two can get along, and sometimes conflict. Studying it can reveal principles that can be applied in different ways. Worshipping it gives a direct pipeline to the power. And academics are rarely the best warriors themselves, while a zealous crusader often can be. Thus, we have two different archetypes with two different ways to hang the design on them. Such a dichotomy rarely exists in anime magic, effectively making magic just something that can be added to any character on an ad-hoc basis and not something you have to dedicate a life to studying or worshipping (though you can, and can thus acquire some remarkable diversity and power).
