I have waited it for years, still all attempts have failed. It is not a simple task but actually the _overview_ of the world should fit in few pages, maybe even one is enough. This is of utmost importance. > And what of the priests? Is their magic similiar to the "ordinary" magic, > or are they dependant completely on the favour of their chosen deities?

Read all the articles from http://majik.netti.fi/archive/majik-design/threads.html, the articles with subject "gods in majik" and "priests in majik" should help you with this question. > And lastly, what about a substance-based magic?

No, and also there is not yet decided for real as far as I can remember where the magic comes from and why. The mortals may not need to know about it (except that I would like it that way), but I think it is important anyways. I don't think it too great if magic works in a way, "when you do this, this happens", instead the magic users should know more of it; are they channeling some power or what. -- Tommi Leino / Majik 3D project namhas@majik.netti.fi http://majik.netti.fi
