Any characters with Magery >= 10, automatically know the detect_magic spell. Whenever their CURRENT MP is above 30 points, they are automatically detected by anyone else who also knows Detect Magic. In other words, high powered mages can sense each other's presence without even trying.

We do not explicitly role-play the reading of the grimoire during casting. Instead think of it as a set of notes to jog your memory. You can cast any spell you know.

These properties may be an attenuation or focus of mana (magic energy) which makes magic harder or easier to use at this location. The attenuation may affect all magic, or it may affect only a certain type of spell.

The wood comes from the rare “Vida Tree” (actually more like a low shrub), which grows only in high mana loci. The tree is very slow growing, and grows only in high mana loci. Typically however, high mana loci tend to be on high rocky mountaintops with very poor growing conditions. They tend to be barren rocky spots prone to high wind and cold temperatures. These factors combine to contribute to the extreme rarity of…
