TK carves out a nice niche in terms of push/pull. It's the antithesis of video game fireworks and Samantha Stevens wish-magic. To further distill...

I just dusted off and reread the story [head smack]. It was an outgrowth of the story world. There are a few reasons to quantify: an empire needs...
For Greg: Those are the pins, not the spells. But yes--you retain all lesser spells, like having the option of how far to throw a football. Thus a...
Ever had a story delayed because some facet wasn't fleshed out? Creating these plug-and-play guides is half the fun; you can't wait to use them....
First you'll want to nail down your own specialty. Worldbuilding? Spellcraft? Fey creatures? In related forums you'll find practitioners to bounce...
I'm strictly a low-tech type, still using the ancient Corel Word. I specify to Windows to make it a continuous file I can add to when time...
My female characters benefit from this observation by a master in the field: "In all my years of practice, I have never precisely deduced what it...

I could be a dinosaur, but I still paint with acrylic by watercolor technique. It's much easier, in my view, than all the button pushing. Of...
I second the word "artificer". It's the one I use for an expert on talismans and scrolls, etc.
Wow. That sounds like a combination of all magic systems. Maybe it's just too broad a category. Your mention of ectoplasm reminds me of a third...
You could go with "gadgeteer" for a more video game feel. Those guys always gave me fits down in the dungeon.
Superlative. Mine tends toward slapstick, though. The medieval queen of the dead wanders into a men's room and encounters the wall-mounted units,...
Glad to be of service. Thanks and hat tip--LF.
The mage Wicca casts a tier 8 spell. The phantasm wraps around a target, draining life force until the victim is mummified.
