Interested in an expansion for ritual magic? What about eldritch patrons? Or a more flexible casting system?
Keith Davies’ of Echelon Game Design is already hard at work producing new LFG compatible content – check out the excellent Ritual of Burnished Amber, Ritual of the Waning Moon, Ritual of Darkened Silence & Ritual of the Tarnished Shield – available now!

I was thinking about going in this direction myself, having done so with a homebrew RuneQuest 2 game back in the day. I am also thinking about an alternative ‘dark and dangerous’ set of charts for mishaps based on the school of spell used (so a conjuration magical backlash may summon a demon, but an abjuration might painfully drain the sorcerer of all magic for a time, or evocation burn the sorcerer’s blood…). Rituals would look similar (and incorporate a magic item creation system a little like the link here) and Places of Power essentially act like power batteries with dangerous synergistic effects or their own backlash tables and ‘price of power’ disadvantages.

I would love to see specific tables for schools of magic, and Place of Power – great ideas!

I have completed a draft document on Places of Power. How might I send it over to you to look at?
