My campaign was set before Kalak was killed. The PCs were part of the conspiracy to kill him (and unfortunately the campaign ended before then). I'm going to assume that they serve some SK.Can people discern between a display of primal power versus an arcane one? My campaign would be that commoners might not but skilled individuals like templars and (of course) magic practitioners would.One MAJOR difference though is that the defiling effects of the arcane are felt (unless they are trying to preserve) while primal would not. Commoners could see this display of power as potentially psionic. It depends on the "fiction" of the power itself.For example, I believe one warden power causes roots to grow and entangle enemies. This probably is not something people would think is a psionic power. Anyway, to answer your question, the crowd would not necessarily turn on the Druid. Again, they would not experience defilement. They may confuse Magic Stones to be arcane, but it depends (I forget the fiction f that power). I did tend to make more powerful powers (like Dailies) to cause more confusion.Templars will naturally be wary of any "hero" not working for them, displaying any power source. They would be skilled in detecting an arcane spell or primal power (generally speaking). I wouldn't outright prohibit the use of primal powers (unlike arcane) but SKs would never allow powerful individuals (much less "heroes") to run free.I agree, they would be pawns or be brought to heel.Something to consider too is that I actually gave bonuses for arcane use when a primal user is present bc they offer more "life energy" (and primal users received a bit more damage). IOW, a SK may consider a group of them as living "batteries", or force them to attract and *enslave* spirits for them. This caused even great enmity between the two types of users.EDIT: Forgot: you mentioned a wizard summoning a demon. THAT would cause the mob to turn on the wizard. Most likely commoners would run and let the templars handle him, but they would focus on helping to rid the evil arcane user before anyone else.Sent from my iPhone using <a href="http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=93205" target="_blank">EN World mobile app</a></blockquote>
