different magic types?

[beeber]

so there main RQ rulebook has rune magic, but mentions others.

divine magic & sorcery are in the companion

where's shamanic magic, dragon magic, and demonology?

are there other types published as well?

 

[TRose]

Well both Elric and Lankmar have different magic systems too. and I would guess so does Hawkmoon but im not familiar with that game. And Sceptune games has rule for what they refer to as petty magic. I kind of like the different magic system myself as magic should be looked at as an art with every culture going about it in a different way.

Shamanic (or Spirit) magic is in Cults 2
Dragon magic is in Magic of Glorantha

I believe there are rules for demonology in Elric, although I've yet to purchase that one.

Demonology and elementalism are both in Elric, with a huge expansion to include runes and other forms in Magic of the Young Kingdoms.

There will also be a more generic form of demonology in the GMs' Guide, along with alchemy.

Dear All,

When are we going to get the remaining Gloranthan magic types?

These being:

1. Eastern Mysticism (it's sort of covered in 'Magic of Glorantha' - only a bit of extra work needed to make it non-draconic);

2. Extra detail on Teshnan beliefs (to make Teshnan characters playable - the Teshnan snippets in 'Players Guide to Glorantha' only whetted the appetite);

3. The cult (and pantheon) of Ompalam and some info on other Pamaltelan religions including Umathela;

4. East Isles Dream Magic (never been covered).

These would certainly help round out the setting.

All the best
