[Rq-rules] Re: Forgotten Magics

[Leon Kirshtein]

I have always had spirit spells which affect
induvidual skills. Basically, the spell will add
either +10% or +5%/+1, if applicable, per point (they
are all variable) to some skill. I did not bother
listing them all in my database since there are too
many skills.

I have had characters in my game take the following
spells amongs others:

Cover (adds to Hide)
Draw Poison (adds to Treat Poison)
Glib Tongue (adds to Fast Talk)
Deal (adds to Bargain)
Copy (added +5% to Write and +5% to Forgery)
