Hm. Perhaps there should be a proposal that no more than X number of magic systems should exist, for simplicity's sake.

But, that's an IC matter.

[hector13]

Do we need to offer up our magic systems for approval by everyone else? 'cause that seems kind of silly.

"My magic system uses Gods-who-arn't-me as fuel. There is no saving throw."

So yeah, currently we do, unless we make a system for making magic systems like we did with creature traits.

Well, that makes sense, but we could make a proposal to limit the magic power to the leyline stuff we've got kicking about, or to draw directly from the god that creates it. Probably an IC thing though, as Murdoc suggests...

[Chevaleresse]

And it's a thing in the IC now.

My general comment was that unchecked magic is OP magic. Kinda like how everyone dog-piled on Chaos magic. Even limiting its power source doesn't really do much to limit its effects, for example under the current rules Munroe could make a magic based on splitting the atom that is capable of blowing up continents at base level, and there wouldn't be anything you could do about it.

We could all band together and change the physics of splitting the atom so it isn't quite as energetic as it is in RL

He will henceforth be known as Darth Sac.

[Chevaleresse]

I know that duplicate spheres are allowed, but don't we already have a god of chaos and corruption? Or am I misremembering?

[hector13]

Ye Gods

And then a new spell that does the same thing, only by fusion instead of fission! And it keeps changing every time you attempt to nerf it by changing physics, because there is no reason it can't.

Seems I misremembered.

Then we all vote that your school casts vegimite at everything!

@Murdoc: Atian is War and Chaos. Kyuu (piratejoe) is Death and Destruction and Meow (Kevak) is Oblivion and the Void, so those are probably the three closest to Chaos and Corruption.

I'm not sure about Corruption being a sphere though, it's a bit too close to depravity, which I think we kinda don't want.

Too late! We already made a "God Killing Spell" that kills any god with about a Calorie of energy. Anyone who tries to stop the spell is vaporized.

It would be silly for you to give the mortals that much power, but I concede the point.
