After following this thread abit, I had the idea for those of us
who have The Grimoire 2nd Ed. In the back is a series of formuli for
creating your own spells in the game. Why don't those of us familiar
with the workings of these charts [it IS a bit daunting, I'll agree;
took me a few trys before I got the hang of it], and post any 'new'
spells we come up with to the list, so everyone else can look at them,
possibly incorporating them in their own game. I know someone recently
already posted one of their spells to the List.

Seen the Earthdawn spell design system! though even that can be
sorted out (it's a LOT more munchkin proof than most though, but not
totally)

There was some swapping went on but i didn't see an updated 'after'
version of the compilation. The principal problem i find with most
unofficial lists (ie not SR2, GR2, Awakenings) is the drain codes are
often way way out. Even shadowland looks in need of a look over by
Steve.
