Given my tendency to do stuff pretty close to that whenever religion comes up, thanks for the advice.I can. Word to the wise, don't insult someone's religion while they're using prayer beads. They hurt like a bitch.Sleep-dep probably explains the formatting. I've been there; it'll get worse if you don't sleep. You are getting very sleepy....sleepy....now go into your bed, close your eyes, and wait it's morning where you are.Mind if I ask why a rosary?Because it's as close as I'm gonna get to a magical knuckleduster. And the idea of casting spells with a rosary just seems really cool for some reason. Might be my current sleep dep level though.
On a serious note: I'm having trouble seeing a rosary used as knuckledusters. You'd probably be better off sharpening your wand.

Ah. I think I understand.The Connections skill is a single-use "this person is my friend/family and always has been" card, but can only be used for the first two interactions with any one person.I was going to mention this a few posts ago, on the Connections skill: If you have an unused Connections skill, you may use it on a new contact to get a significant relations boost. This should work on all but the most powerful people. It will work on a teacher, the leader of the magic police squad chasing you, the judge of your murder case, etc....What?
It's a focus. Not a belief system.Oh and do we NEED a wand? Or can we use some other foci, different only for flavours sake? Cos I really like the idea of using a rosary....Isn't the Catholic church against magic and sorcery and stuff?

Six classes is possible, but a difficult schedule, and you probably won't have much time to learn extra spells or practice those taught in class.Even with one of them being history?
I'm not writing up a complete list of every shop in the mall. Spawn shops by looking for one. ("I look for a pet store. I need a magical snake.")Alright. Hm.
Extra books will give you a bonus to studying or trying to learn spells not taught in class. Getting the books from the library will require a roll. A wand will give you a bonus to certain spells. You could buy an expanded set of potion ingredients, better tools for certain classes, a pet, or any number of mysterious objects you might expect to find in a magical mall.

((@GWG: I'm just saying that I'm fairly certain you need a human mind for it to work properly. But who knows, I might be wrong. Piecewise is the only one who knows how his space magic works. Try that if you survive or have your other corpse revived. We'll get some new data, whether it works or not.((Maybe you should ask her. After this, of course.
And I just realized Grate has all the powers and abilities of the AM now (can sense everything around him with incredible detail and can alter it), but none of the control. Wonder if the AM somehow got exposed to the thing manipulator batteries contain and got incredibly lucky. Or maybe she worked on developing amps and manipulators. Or was an early test subject. Hmmm...))
