[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8802053, member: 7006"] [USER=18]@Ruin Explorer[/USER] That's a single ritual you are using as your example, but I suspect the group of people who said back in 2008 that the 4E powers seemed antiseptic were looking at the entire book, wherein each power had but a single line of italicized flavor text along with a larger mechanical block of pure mechanics. A lot of people didn't mind or liked the powers format and found them flavorful, but a lot of people didn't. Personal taste. Please note that I'm making no judgements on any of these versions of spell descriptions... AD&D, 4E, 5E, Quickleaf's edit to one spell. They all are what they are, and they all were made to work for their respective games. If they were successful or if they could have or could be done better or differently will come down to each individual reading it... or the WotC editors when it comes time for them to re-do the 2024 spell section.
