Spirit Magic and Shamans

[Ssendam]

Hi all ... 1st post, be gentle

I have Runquest Core RPG, Runquest Companion, Runequest Monsters and the Glorantha main book.

I also have a lot of the older stuff including the a nice boxed set with loads of booklets in.

One thing I loved about the old system was Shamens and Spirit Magic in general, but I can't see that's covered in any real detail in the new books I have.

Am I missing something? Is it a Glorantha issue only? Is it in the magic book?

I was hoping the whole process of becoming a shaman, getting a fetch etc. would be there but I can't even find much on 'ol spirit magic. I am probably just being a klutz.

On another note, now that the core books have been updtaed and released as a delux set is my GM screen obsolete?

No rules for generic shamanism have been published so far. With all old battle magic spells having become rune spells, it is rather unlikely that they will: they are less "generally" useful than they were in RQ2/3.

A very interesting set of rules for shamanism in Glorantha can be found in Cults of Glorantha volume 2, which is a very interesting book. These rules can be adapted to non-Glorantha settings.

As for the screen, I have already complained about it (the update came out a couple of weeks after I bought my one at Tentacles), but nobody offered me a replacement

Though I forget the numbers of the Signs and Protent magazines, there are two articles in there on spirits and spirit magic. Just go through them, saves the money on the book just for the magic section. More spells are covered in Cults of Glorantha II though... Though there is the spell book which has even more spells.
