[QUOTE="Roman, post: 3327263, member: 1845"] Very interesting... have any of these vortices become attached to somebody else? Can they even become attached to somebody else? As to Kalid-Ma, I did use the Ravenloft connection - I am not even aware of the obsidian orbs you speak of - what are they? Hmm, so with the sorceror king granted templar magic, we have the following sources/types of supernatural power in Dark Sun: Psionics - the internal power of the person/creature in question but connected to the Atral Plane through temporary Mindscapes Arcane magic - the power gained from draining life of its energy (can be done quickly and destructively [Defiling] or slowly and non-damagingly [Preserving]) Spirit magic - the power granted by spirits to druids, rangers and possibly other classes (Para)Elemental magic 1: Clerical Magic - power granted to clerics from the (para)elemental planes in exchange for pacts with (para)elemental entities (Para)Elemental magic 2: Templar Magic - power from the elemental planes (is it defined which ones - IIRC the spellists are different than for clerics) granted to templars by sorceror kings, through living vortices Lifeshaping - I know it exists, but what is it, how does it work and what is its source? Is anything missing? Perhaps something Black/Shadow related? Also, did Dark Sun have any other sources/types of supernatural power in the past that have now disappeared and if so are there any prospects for their reappearance? Last but not least, are there any hints (or outright information) that there are still other sources/types of supernatural power to be created/discovered/tapped/added in Dark Sun? [/QUOTE]
