ReplyDeleteGreat start, love what you're dong - but it does seem a tad quirky that 'Mystical Shackles' is on the arcane list instead of the mystical list.
ReplyDeleteThese are great - basically "Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic" yes? Or do you see them in a different light, and if so, how so? Please keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteI rather see them as confusing/neutral/chaotic :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I see this list as being a great prop for a modern magic setting, and not just a scifi OD&D campaign. Keep the list rolling!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff, please keep them coming.
ReplyDeletewow, awesome work!
