Other magics (and especially dark magics) don't require general spells and rituals to be marked on someone's MA. It's a hassle that just makes more work for ST and Players. Understandable, Siliti rituals should be marked because of the special nature of them as well as if someone has taken the Second Slot. The mechanics even say this exact same thing, so I wish for the inconsistence to be fixed and for the annoying process of marking abilities and rituals to not be required. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveller 2219 Share Posted April 18 imo i dont think every spell should be unrecorded the rituals like hail/calamity for example should absolutely be recorded on your MA due to their impact or potential impact compared to something like ensorcel or quiet 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hail, Call Calamity, and Invent should be recorded since those all are the most important ones. Thoughts? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
