If you enjoy playing high-fantasy games and wish to movie beyond the restrictive level-based magic system, this is the ideal book for you! User Summary: A skill based system of magic to REPLACE 3.0 and 3.5's level based system of magic. Basically: - Spells DO take a # of slots to cast. (But not a "lvl 7", etc, just "A slot".) - Spells have a difficulty DC that is also related to their drain. - If you make your Fortitude save, the spell goes off. It may even reduce the drain if you do it well. - If you don't make the save, you must make a skill check to keep control. - You can reduce the drain by; saying the name of the spell (Fire-BLAZE), turning the spell into a whole round cast, or making it even longer into a ritual. If you are really good, you just flick your finger and it goes off. - Also rules for anime-esqe spell countering and combining. Sounds fun. - Feats are included. + Class conversions for 3.0 and 3.5. + Spell conversion guidelines. + The book is also designed if you have an idea for a "Magical Girl" (Sailor Moon) type campaign in mind. + Also can be used in d20 Modern, or d20 Space of you wish. CANNOT be used with 4.0
