Hello,
I am going through the magic system in MIDNIGHT right now and it is nearly
all ocg - give me a little time and I will see how it could be worked into
BR and post a synopsis (including the OCG parts). I am not 100% comfortable
yet - having had the book for 3 days. My current conception of it right now
is that it is superior to a low magic type of setting than the base system
and that it has many elements of the Wheel of Time channeler versatility
built into it.
