Message: <blockquote data-quote="Garthanos" data-source="post: 7627754" data-attributes="member: 82504">Even when I bring up Kings Magic and use it as a flavor for presenting Warlords it just never seems that a vancian spell system does it anything approaching justice... [SBLOCK=Kings Magic]King's Magic is the kind of magic where true oaths can bring back the dead and your magic item only responds to those of your blood and oaths of allegiance create brotherhoods whose unity grants them power. It might involve fated companions and is often focused through marks of authority. It can involve influence of followers, and those under your jurisdiction or whom you have mastered by force of arms. It could involve your lands health and prosperity being attached to yours like ancient Celtic Kings. It might include Fate and Destiny manipulation and it's price is often marked in units of charity or karma.In the ancient world oaths were things of "magic" from which power flowed yet made to sovereign rulers as often or more than deitiesThis magic is not that of a spell caster in any classic sense and is more subtle than any sorcery. It is the Magic when Uther smashes caldwych/excalibur in to the stone and declares only he and his will have it. Its the magic which causes Aragorns hand to catalyze a weed in to a healing herb. It's the magic when the bearer of the Sword of Truth drives his companions in to a berserkergang. It's the magic which causes Arthur's enemies to crown him king in spite of their own desires and it's focused through his famous Sword of Kingship and again Aragorn calling in the oaths of the unforgiven dead.[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
