-- about timeline -- So, what's the timeline. Will we use Hooks creation suggestion? I'd like to know these so I have something concrete where to build my race histories. -- about magic -- What is role of the magic again? We are getting veery many races which use magic, is their magic religious or based on symbolic magic. It must be either of those unless it's some sort of innate ability. How magic works? We agreed that non-religious magic uses symbols, but what affects to the spellcasting itself? Will spells consume sp? If they do, what's sp (stats or something else)? Does it regenerate? If it does, how it regenerates? Will spells have affecting stats, if they have will there be spells which are dependant on multiple stats? Spells are formed by combining symbols. These symbols have each three different manifestations: somatic, verbal and compo nent. Can these manifestations compined when spell is cast? Will caster automatically know all manifestations when he knows the symbol? Since symbolic magic is difficult to learn and very powerful, only scholars or other who are willing to spend years learning new symbols should posses them and closely guard their knowledge from other. However, I get feeling that current races are very magic emphasized which is not good if symbol magic was supposed to be rare. Should this be changed? You all should ask more questions and also answer to these questions, so we can now finally get working, and lasting, base for our magic system.
