preparation of the scrolls, and elaborate procedures in effectively casting spells from the
scrolls. (See "Scrolls," page ??.)
GM Guidelines: Knowledge of this lore is necessary, but not sufficient, to inscribe a
spell or cast a spell from a scroll. Knowledge of the arcane language used to record the
spell is also necessary. However, familiarity with scrolls in general may occasionally
permit a character to recognize significant features of a spell inscribed in an unknown
language (at the GM’s discretion).
Rune Lore: According to legend, runes are the written depiction of lingua praestantia,
the language spoken by the Gods. Runes are essential elements in all sorcery, and
sorcerers usually carry focuses inscribed with the runes necessary to cast the spells and
rituals he knows.
Though these signs are known to have great magical power, ability to use that power is
not conferred by simple recognition of those signs. Nonetheless, a scholar learned in rune
lore may make many suppositions about the magical powers of a sorcerer from
examination of his focus, and, when examining magical devices and artifacts, may
identify common magical effects (that is, effects caused by most Petty and 1st Rank
Battle Magics) associated with the items.
GM Guidelines: At the GM's discretion, modifiers may apply. For example, more
popular high-level sorcerous spells (e.g., Lightning Bolt, Cause Fear) may be easily
recognized, while spells and rituals of outlawed practices like Demonology and
Necromancy may be difficult to recognize.
Runemastery: Knowledge of this skill is confined to wizards of the highest achievement.
At present, Runemagical practices are almost unknown among the human cultures of the
Old World. This skill may not be learned as a non-career skill.
GM Guidelines: Runemastery is a comprehensive knowledge of runes, including
familiarity with many runes rarely used in modern-day magics, and including a fine
knowledge and control of the qualifiers that determine most of the variable elements in
sorcerous spells, rituals, and magical enchantments. Runemasters can, given time,
produce an almost unlimited range of magical effects, of varying degrees of power and
duration. This is essentially an NPC skill -- an excuse to permit GMs to introduce into
their campaigns sorcerous effects that are completely mysterious and incomprehensible to
the PCs. Inclusion of PC Runemasters in a campaign is optional at the discretion of the
GM. (See Sorcerous Magic, Runemastery, page ??.)
Daemon Lore : The study and practice of Daemonic conjuration and enchantment are
outlawed in all civilized Old World societies. Nonetheless, abundant information about
demons, of varying degrees of accuracy and reliability, is available in popular folklore
and scholarly literature, and certain Old World rulers permit limited and carefullysupervised
research in this discipline. Daemon Lore may -- or may not -- prove useful in
recognizing the work of demons, demonologists, and Daemon-worshippers, and may
provide knowledge of practices effective in warding off demons and their works, or in
frustrating the rituals and sorceries of demonologists or Daemon-worshippers.
GM Guidelines: Fanatic enemies of Daemon worshippers (e.g., cultists or professionals
dedicated to eradicating such evils) often display special zeal in collecting details of
occult practices. Apply GM modifiers at your discretion.
