No we can't, but the Game System Manager can. Thanks, Peter Precisely a more honest answer and one I can give a little more respect to. On a different note I am so not driving to Doncaster for a very long time after today god I'm getting too old for car trips like that. |

The first rule of mantics is we don’t talk about mantics! Except maybe on Fridays when we’re bored! More seriously detect magic existed well before mantic detect magic was even a thing. So it’s just another example of how the system has evolved. Would it be named and done the same if created from scratch now, probably not. But it’s evolved this way and generally works if you don’t poke it too much! Cheers, Sean It's a valid point to a degree but one could argue that a system isn't truly evolving but simply changing and being patched if we are going to introduce a whole different power into a game but can't be bothered to make new spells/rules/limitations etc then that's not evolving to me that's simply adjusting. Not like Mantic is exactly new either just has more involvment these days. Mantic being used a whole lot more is also something I could enter a whole new dicussion into but I won't. Anyway mantic detect magic, detects spirits also (because it does and thus it has been declared) ever evolving system in which it's far too difficult to bring out some new spells such as Detect Power which pretty much just replaces the words Magic for Power and can now pick up Spirits. I get it people are comfortable with the system, some don't like change, some feel if it is written it is law and should not be contested and by written I mean just genrally acknowledged and to contest such is to incur the wrath of the gods. This is not exactly ground breaking stuff in any game/system it happens a lot. I have only even brought this into slight conflict not because I really give a [----] about how detect magic is used vs mantic detect magic but more so because I wonder how many other things be it mantic or other power that wasn't originally used as players are being bent to fit into the more modern Labyrinthe system. But since I won't know until I fully explore and play more it's a moot point. |

I think I had the 1st Spiritual Mancer (priest turning spirits mantic) well before anything like it was published.
One I the main mantic Miricals I would use was Protection from SPIRITS, it would also stop dark elves, elementals etc |
