Advanced Sorcery

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Demons, Necromancy & High-Level Magic

The worlds of fantasy are vast and diverse. Whether steeped in philosophy and existentialism, or action and carnage, the one commonality to all tales of fantasy is the influence of the supernatural on the natural world. Mages, wizards and sorcerers force the world to bend to their will. They grab the the fundamental essence of the universe and force it to do their bidding.

Advanced Sorcery adds new options to players of the Magic World game, as well as other Basic Roleplaying-based roleplaying games. The magic systems in this book may be used alongside the Sorcery rules from Magic World, or replace them. As with all rules additions, the Chronicler and players are the final arbiters of the need for new material. If you do add these new systems to an existing campaign world, consider how they can be introduced. Perhaps different cultures in your world are the lorekeepers of individual magic systems. Possibly a great network of mages share these secrets amongst themselves. But in the end, remember that it’s magic; it requires logic as a roaring fire needs dousing with water: not at all.

Within this book are seven chapters:

    • Advanced Sorcery: over two dozen new powerful sorcery spells to add to your sorceror’s repertoire.
    • Deep Magic: Mages learn to pull and re-weave the threads that form the web of reality, rather than learning magic by rote and formula.
    • The Summoner’s Art: Expands the rules for summoning demons and elementals.
    • Glyphs: Magical symbols which can be used for intricate and devastating effects.
    • Necromancy: Whether to cheat or enslave death, necromancers are among the most foul magicians ever known.
    • Arete: A mystical system of power for characters of vast skill potential. Now, when your character achieves 100+ in skills such as Navigate, Art, etc., great things may be accomplished.
    • Herbalism: Details simple and natural concoctions of herbs which can heal, harm or entrance the imbiber.

What is the difference between Advanced Sorcery and The Magic Book? They seem to cover the same material.

The Magic Book covers systems introduced in Runequest. This book covers a number of new systems, although some may have appeared in other BRP powered systems like Stormbringer, Elfquest, etc. ...I have both books and this one has no duplicate content from The Magic Book.

I'm interested in purchasing this for use with 5th edition, but the sample file is useless, and only repeats the contents list shown here.

What type of spells are we talking here and would they benefit someone running Runequest 6 / Mythras ?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
