around. I don't mean the karma pool on an individual basis (that's handled
with threat/professional ratings) but specifically good karma with regard to
bonding costs, the ability to quicken and/or anchor spells, etc.
I've seen some interesting ideas in the Aggriculture thread, up to and
including ending world hunger via magic. The problem I see here is that
Karma is a fairly difficult thing to quantify... How many spells can someone
quicken before they run out of karma, etc.
I think the answer to this, once I figure out how I want to deal with it,
will have quite a bit of impact on the viability of wide scale commercial
magic use in my worldview. Perhaps the average Joe should be assigned a
certain amount of karma per year or something to do with as he chooses...
Bah. I need to think about this one for a while. Any comments?
