Quickenings come up again, I have a question. This is not an attempt
to start a debate. I understand that at this point it is the GM's
option to allow it or not. I have read the arguements on both sides,
so do not reiterate them. My question assumes that you CAN and is
as follows:
Seeing as quickening a spell is a metamagical ability of initiates,
should grounding through them be allowed by non-initiates? It seems
that a "quickening" would be a foreign object (for lack of a better
term) to a non-initiate, so why should they be allowed to "use" it?
And I feel the same about the other metamagic abilities as well. Why
should a non-initiate be able to penetrate a masking? How could they
possibly understand the process and the magical energies involved? Or
an anchoring for that matter? I don't know, but it seems to me like
initiate should stand out as more powerful than the average Joe-mage.
I always thought that an initiate was special, that their higher
connection with the magical energies set them apart. But if they can
be nailed by any kid with a Magic Rating something is wrong.
Can anybody comment on this?
Thanks.
