@Madison -- yes this makes perfect sense and I DEFINITELY like this idea.
Madi, if you could implement those and the automatic magic gm intervention stuff, that would be sweet. 8)
Shaf - i'm thinking that if the magicka bar falls to 0 during the thread, it'll generate an automatic GM post that says like "Your character is exhausted and can no longer use magic in this thread" or it'll have a golem pop up or something.
I like the idea! One quick question though - if all characters start at 100, then the difference between fledgling, pupil and master would be solely factored into their rolls?
Pretty much yeah, although we *might* consider allowing different amounts of magicka per magic level... it depends :T For now, all three levels will have 100 magicka in the magicka bars to start. Thats assuming we go with that option. :P
