Editing A Certain Role-playing Game (section)

==Plans for A Certain Magical Game Addendum==

Since the mechanics for A Certain Scientific Roleplaying Game are nearing a level where they can be play-tested, we could probably spare a bit of effort into thinking of how to handle Magic in this game. 

'''Preliminary ideas:'''
:Mages spend character points at character generation to buy proficiency in magic in a similar fashion to espers
:Mages can also spend character points to buy a magical artifact that their character has - this should be something the GM doesn't take away from them during the course of a campaign without very, very, very, very good reason
:Magic should be less freeform than psychic abilities - more with specific spell lists than something that can be used creatively
:Mages require the use of rituals, chants, runes, talismans, etc in order to use magic - maybe the process even takes multiple combat rounds of concentration for more powerful effects
:The most powerful magic spells should exceed the power of any lone esper - however, it may take thousands of mages cooperating over a period of time to cast such a spell.
:On that note, mages should be able to link their powers together to cast more powerful spells than either could alone or than the two together would seem to be able to - the "whole is greater than the sum of the parts" kinda thing
