Greetings everyone. I am simply sending off a short reply
or two to the mail I've just read.
1: Ms Johnson, I believe it was your name that prompted my
consideration of the topic. And to all, I apologize for a somewhat arcane
post. I will endeavor to stick to more relevant topics.
2: Who suggested that a mage could had the potential to practice
both the hermetic and shamanic traditions, even if it required high-level
Initiation? I've always been under the impression that if you're magical
you're born either one way or another-there is no choice. Mages have an
innate relationship with mana, allowing them to manipulate it at will.
Shamans have an innate relationship with there totem, which helps them to
manipulate the mana. While the two are similar enough in game balance & effect,
they are vastly different in conception.
