[QUOTE="Verequus, post: 1138393, member: 9135"] That's why the spell effects are very narrow defined - flexibility vs. power. I'm not dead set against the system - I am even one the strongest supporters! Look into the other thread if you want to know my opinion. What I forgot to mention is that I had to scroll the word document (not the teaser) everytime (splitting the screen helped a little bit, but I had then only the half screen for both spell lists...) and I didn't print it out. So it may be easier to turn the pages than to scroll - at least it would minimize scrolling. Also I never said that EoM doesn't allow the shaping of magic to your vision - which sentence from me gave you that impression? But it is a fact that for creating a spell you have to find every needed option and add the right amount of MPs - this can be done easily as preparation, but not while the game without computer help, because it is too time-consuming and holds up the game. That's why the signature spells exist - to constrain players and DMs alike to some simple, but easily swappable options. Your post seems to be only a misunderstanding of my intentions which weren't absolutely clear. Maybe I'm a little worn out, because my comments about the whole file reached 10 pages. ;-) [/QUOTE]
