                     MAJIK'S GENERIC MAGIC SYSTEM

RQ, AD&D and ADOM's magic system build together to create unique
Majik's generic majik system with aid of Namhas's ideas.

INT % 10 + POW % 10 + DEX % 5 must be over 0 when joining to the guild.
Joining costs 100 gold pieces, and then must throw POW * 5 otherwise
the guildmaster will not trust enough on the character's skills and 
the character must wait one RL day to try again. Mortals should not
know about these numbers.

Maximum 7 students / guildmaster. In Majik there is at least 5 powerful
enough NPC mages who can teach mortals. Maybe in the future we can
allow mortals to be guildmasters too, but still though the rules should
apply, except maybe POW * 5 check, it can be replaced with more realistic
'throw' - the mortal needs to speak the PC mage over. The PC guildmaster
must have all skills at 100% he is teaching.

Students can train on following skills:

 - Knowledge: World Lore (this skill affects on many things, 
                          usually this is checked when some action
                          needs some knowledge of the world)

 - Magic: Intensity (this will replace on AD&D's rules all shit
                     about levels. Intensity skill is divided by
                     10, thus if the character have intensity of 100%
                     then he is as powerful as AD&D character with
                     experience level of 10. the skill is extremely
                     difficult)

Students can study on all level 1 spells the guildmaster knows
(random).

Once in a Majik year the NPC guildmaster will choose to want new
apprentice. Requirements for apprentice are:

 * must have been student for at least one majik year
 * INT % 10 + POW % 10 + DEX % 5 must be over 10.
 * World Lore must be 25% or over.
 * Intensity must be 25% or over.
 * must throw POW * 3
 * must sacrifice one POW point for the guildmaster

Apprentice can train on following skills:

 - Magic: Range (this is replacement for AD&D's level based spell range)

 - Magic: Duration (this is replacement for AD&D's level based spell
                    duration)

 - Magic: Multispell (this is unique skill from RQ, using this the
                      caster can cast multiple spells at same time.
                      extremely difficult skill)

Of course, apprentices can train the same skills as students. Also
apprentices can study all spells from level range 1-3.

After studying at least 3 years as apprentice the apprentice can try
to become mage himself and join to the one of magic schools. This happens
by going to the guild (abjuration, alteration, conjuration, divination,
enchantment, illusion, invocation or necromancy) and asking permission
to join. The requirements are:

  * must know at least one knowledge at 75% and at least two spells
    at 75%.
  * must throw POW * 2
  * must fill the requirements for the guild he is trying to join:

     school of abjuration:	15 wis
     school of conjuration:	15 con
     school of divination:	16 wis
     school of enchantment:	16 cha
     school of illusion:	16 dex
     school of invocation:	16 con
     school of necromancy:	16 wis
     school of alteration:	15 dex

After specialiazing to one school of magic it is possible to join
another school of magic but there is certain restrictions:

     abjurer can't join to alteration or illusion
     conjurer can't join to divination or invocation
     diviner can't join to conjuration
     enchanter can't join to invication or necromancy
     illusionist can't join to necromancy, invocation or abjuration
     invoker can't join to enchantment or conjuration
     necromancer can't join to illusion or enchantment
     transmuter can't join to abjuration or necromancy

In the guild one can study all spells of that school including
skill which serves as for example 'cast magic' in BatMUD, while
intensity serves as 'cast generic'. However those skills doesn't
affect only the chance of success, they affect on the power of
the spell. The skill of the school is divided by 10 as well as
intensity thus if one has intensity at 100% and the school's skill
at 100% he is compared to maximum level mage in AD&D and rocks
the world.

Divination spells below level 5 are known as "lesser divination"
spells and are studyable by all mages, but only true diviner
can gain the real power to those spells. That means, all divination
spells below level 5 are available to all schools. 

All guilds (schools) of magic have 10 levels. Every level has all
spells available on that level and requirements to next levels are
at least 2 spells of that level must be 75% or over. For level 10
the requirements are all spells at least 75% and in level 10 the one
can train the skill to maximum and gain the title of true master
mage of the school.
