[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 161835, member: 70"] Actually, two questions. Is the binding on anyone else's copy a little stiff? I'm having the worst time getting this book to open evenly... Anyways, the important question concerns Chaos magic and the chart on page 91. The whole chaos magic concept in this book is a little unclear to me, but it looks like you have one "chaos magic spell" that has six "manifestations", or ways to cast it, and those six manifestations have stats identical to regular D&D spells. It's kinda like a six in one deal. All good. The confusion comes with the chart. The chart has entries like "Spell 5, harmful mutation". What does this mean? Does it mean manifestation #5? What if the caster isn't casting manifestation #5? Does it just get logged for later? (casting a chaos spell always screws up -something-). So. The chaos spell Serpents Journey has the following manifestations: dimension door, expeditious retreat, fly, phantom steed, shadow walk, teleport without error. What happens when I attempt to cast "fly" and get a result of "Spell 2, harmful mutation"? Does "expeditious retreat" go off instead? Nell. Who might be starting to get it... [/QUOTE]
