[Garamszegi Karoly]

Hello,



I wonder if there is someone who has seen this book. What topics
are covered in it? Is it worth buying?

Yes it's worth buying. If you have a mage in your gaming group especially
then go get it.

Topics roughly are:
Background fo mage. Clarified and improved rules for ley lines. Thorough
description of five mages. New kits and things. Somethin about studying
magic and The Royal College of Sourcery. Some nice and really powerfull
magic items. And finally all battle and realm spells.

I bet you will have atleast ten answers.

Jerry,

I have the book. It helps explain alittle about magic in BR and
gives you some ideas on Ley Lines and NPC Wizards from each area. All in
all I liked it as a guide for my wizard players.

If you have any Mage Regents in your campaign, the BoM is a necessity. It
includes new Realm Spells, rules on creating, maintaining, and using Ley
Lines, as well as a bit more. So if you have a Mage, or two, running around
you should pick it up.

I have the Book of Magecraft and yes, it is worth buying. First, it discusses
the different races and their philosophical views of magic, prefered schools,
and prohibited schools. There is expanded information on ley lines and
sources, additional spells, magic items and artifacts, and a chapter
detailing the Royal College of Sorcery.
