Message: <blockquote data-quote="Darkness" data-source="post: 1298081" data-attributes="member: 13">Yah, I know. But that that Mystra died during the Time of Troubles; I was just wondering whether the new Mystra (formerly known as Midnight) might have changed matters. Because......even leaving Karsus' Avatar aside, epic spells certainly exist in the FR. And that enables epic-level spellcasters to create their own spells of this, or even greater, power. Which the current Mystra doesn't prevent.Yah, that puzzled me as well. 'cause even when playing in Netheril, I'm not sure how many DMs would need detailed rules for that spell. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> But then, maybe they just wanted to set an example of a truly powerful epic spell. *shrug* Time will tell, I suppose; it's not too unlikely that they put in a disclaimer or explanation of some sort.Look, it's really jjust a question of what definition one uses.Going by what the DMG says, it ain't a high magic setting. But the DMG definition is way above where the term 'high magic' begins when you go by way the term is generally used.(Kinda like the D&D definition of 'epic' should better be called 'uber-powerful'. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> 'cause you can have epic adventures even at medium character levels - e.g., Frodo != epic-level - whereas a high power level doesn't necessarily make an adventure epic in the literary sense.)</blockquote>
