    Re: Religious Magic Idea: Looking for feedback.... That's a creative approach. Another approach, not a better one, is to do it as Summoning drawing on an end reserve with a rec that only recovers by observing rights. But that may be just about my tendency to over define at the expense of role playing...

    Re: VPP: Unique Skill For Every Power? I like your system. Especially wands adding to the skill roll.

    Re: VPP: Unique Skill For Every Power? The only power modifier that I would think of as global would be the limitation "Each Power Requires A Unique Skill (-?)" applied to the control cost of a VPP. I'm undecided on what that ? should be so I can't post the math. I might be biased in thinking (-1 1/2) or that might not be enough.

    Re: VPP: Unique Skill For Every Power? A multipower is too costly and the "feel" is wrong anyway. One difficulty I have with the magic systems I've looked at is that they are too limited. If I may put it this way, there is a difference between "style of magic limitations" and "limitation of diversity of effects". (I know I am being criminally abstract...) How about this... there should be limitations that have to do with the difference between the way a shaman does magic and the way a sorcerer does magic. But eventually there comes a level of skill such that any effect is doable. Converting a MP to a VPP I don’t like. Converting the system I’m describing to a more conventional VPP would be consistent with my notion of how magic should be handled.

    I'm hoping for some input on the level of disadvantage it would be to require a unique skill for every power used out of a VPP. This would seem like a good solution for magic. The specific structure would be that every "spell, combination of power/advantage/disadvantage/special effect, would have a unique skill for that combination and only that combination. Possibly with complimentary skills. i.e. "Fireball" skill having a complimentary skill, KS: Fire Magic? (This might seem convoluted but magic in the Hero System has never worked right for me.)
