(This is the third of three posts on the new FAL magic system). I wanted to do a final follow-up post concerning the new magic system as it is a big change from the original system. While it is a departure from lists, there is no reason those who enjoy the lists must abandon them completely. The actual mechanics in the 2nd edition are still the same as the original game so lists from before could be integrated and simply treated as any new spell would be. The new magic system allows for spells to evolve as a PC’s Arcane Boon increases. So, for example, a low-level wizard with a spell that creates light might be able to conjure up something like the light of a candle while a high-level caster with the same spell might be able to create a flash of light blinding a room full of goabs! (the high-level caster would even have the option to adjust the spell as needed for the situation). Again, old list spells could be adjusted if players were so inclined.
