[QUOTE="Nightfall, post: 3600241, member: 374"] *feels a familiar pull* Scarred Lands magic isn't low magic per-se. It is, however, a tad more than "magic trains" and "ancient magical empires." since neither of those exist currently. It is currently a low magic item count in terms of being a buyers/seller's market for the most part. (Some like Hollowfaust can offer stuff). There's no mega Wal-mart outlet stores in most rural to semi-urban areas. There are, however, large to huge caches from the Divine War/Titanswar that are probably still hidden somewhere. The core classes exist, with sorcerers and druids being kind of the "outcasts" of society. Wizardry is still not a wholly honorable profession, but it's more accepted by some than sorcery. Ritual magic tends to take the place for when spellcasters run low on magic or need a power boost but only in very critical situation. Same is true for True Rituals, powerful spells that I feel can often exceed the Epic spells of Epic Player's Handbook. The only reason it's considered "low magic" is not everyone is 100% spellcasters except for clerics and the more than occasional paladin/rangers.
