[QUOTE="RisTigger, post: 6404936, member: 6777327"] Reading over this a few times, I've got a few reservations. My biggest one is, what is a secret? I understand it gives you the ability to control the magical nature of a substance, but what is it? A wand? A scroll? A fish? Thematically, a secret doesn't tell me much. How can it be loots? The same goes for a spell list. I think in the May doc it was an actual list but has that changed? So can you build your own spell list? This is all just a generic list for those that don't have the time or creativity to make one? Or for the GM to get spells on the fly? And if you can make your own spell list, does it have to be held down by a single secret? As long as you have access to the secrets, shouldn't you be able to make your own custom spell list from those secrets? It can give your list a bit of flavor rather than just be a static thing. It's also easier to think up spells if you have access to multiple secrets instead of needing to make a spell list for each one. I like secrets though. It's an interesting idea that gives your mage a unique spin but I feel right now it's kind of limited because of what I said above. [/QUOTE]
