Prohibited Spells

Fly and invisibility, while useful spells are not overpowering if the DM counters for such spells. You may as well ban all magic as most spells, if used in right way can be very powerful.

Well, this problem of whether or not to prohibit certain spells has been resolved in a somewhat unorthodox manner ...

John M. and myself have decided to co-operate and run an Ars Magica campaign instead. And I have managed to pass on responsibility for wizards to him.

given that spellcasters (wielders of true magic) are very rare, those spells are rare also.

as for resurrection i can say, let the cleric additionally pay 2 regency points for each raised or resurrected level. that way only blooded clerics can raise the dead and it will cost them dearly in regency. so the number of people who can do this are countable on one hand in al cerilia.

And so deserve 4 points of piety and a plaque, for at this instance I am

most enamored of plain text. Boeruine`s personal scribe, notwithstanding.
