Combat

A radically revised combat system intended to require fewer rolls and calculations per attack. It is still a work in progress. Updated September 3, 2002

Magic

Okay, so parts of this are still under construction. I couldn't wait to show off my shiny new Sphere rules, though. This will soon be a complete set of magic rules, including everything about how to plan, build, and describe Effects you might ever want to know. Well, at least all the rules will be in the same place. I swear I find a new magic rule every time I pick up the Corebook, and I find that a bit annoying, at times. Updated September 29, 2002

The downside of wielding magick extensively. Recently updated.

Scourgings

I am not focusing on this system nearly as much this chronicle, but here is the system I use to adjudicate divine favors and wrath.

Modifiers to Magical Difficulties

Includes explanations and details on how difficulties for Effects might be modified.

Languages of Malakai

This chronicle's language list is shorter than the earlier chronicles. I guess that's what happens when most of the world's population is wiped out by cataclysms. Updated September 7, 2002
