[Rq-rules] Forgotten Magics

[Guy Hoyle]

It has often seemed to me that there are some missing types of spirit
magic in RQ, in almost every edition. These are the types of spells that
non-fighters use almost every day in their professions. True, many of
the magics involved can be used in non-combat roles; Bladesharp can be
used on plows, for example, while Disruption can be used to kill
household pests. Spells such as Coordination and Haste can be used in a
variety of professions. But where are the Craft-enhancing spells fopr
smiths, potters, weavers, and carpenters? Where are the Lore-boosting
spells employed by Lhankor Mhy lawspeakers? Surely Issaries teaches
spells to increase the Barter and Fast Talk (and, dare I say it, Bribe)
skills of its merchants and traders?

Divine Magic and Sorcery should probably have versions of these spells,
too. Has anybody else had thoughts along these lines?
