Pyramid 3/066: The Laws of Magic
The Laws of the Universe Are Magical! Mystic circles¸ arcane pacts¸ and fundamental forces you don't want to defy - such are oft the ways of magic. This month's Pyramid - the PDF magazine for roleplayers - presents a look at magic where doing the impossible means following the rules... and sometimes bending them¸ if you can get away with it. This spellbinding issue includes: "Alternative Ritual Path Magic¸" an incredibly meaty supplement of optional possibilities for GURPS Thaumatology: Ritual Path Magic. Learn how to combine Ritual Path magic with other GURPS systems¸ including Book magic¸ Divine Favor¸ effect shaping¸ realms¸ symbols¸ and much more. This supplement-sized feature is sure to offer untold opportunities for practitioners of Ritual Path Magic ! "Ritual Path Specialists¸" new rules that make Ritual Path Magic magicians specialists in their arcane arts... written by that supplement's author (and GURPS guru)¸ Jason "PK" Levine. "The Azure Dragon¸" this month's Eidetic Memory installment from GURPS Banestorm: Abydos author David L. Pulver that details the history and powers of a tome designed to bring celestial enlightenment. For those who dare unravel its secrets¸ it also describes the occult artifact's GURPS Thaumatology Book magic abilities. "Thoroughly Modern Magic¸" an update of the magical mass-production rules from GURPS Technomancer to GURPS Fourth Edition. Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology! "The Material Difference¸" an optional overhaul of the GURPS item-enchantment process that will have your heroes building magical goodies like never before. These daring ideas - including a list of sample materials - were assembled at great risk by the driving force behind GURPS Dungeon Fantasy ¸ Sean Punch. This month's Pyramid also features a Random Thought Table with ideas on how to make and break laws¸ plus an Odds and Ends that reveals options and mysteries thought long-buried. It may be a law that magicians never reveal their secrets¸ but this issue of Pyramid is all about pushing the limits of those laws!
