Hearth magic
Hearth magic
...is the more peaceful side of battle magic. It still takes up space in your free Int as battle magic does. Almost all hearth magic requires focus, which means any wound or shock will throw the spell. Normal things like walking and talking will not. Thus, it is rarely used by the more active adventurers and cultists of Glorantha.
Unlike battle magic, hearth magic tends to lesser effects, with increased levels of a spell increasing the duration of magics. All variable [v] spells start with a duration of 1-5 minutes [a short task], but extra levels of the spell make its effects last longer.
- +1 pt 5-15 min [ a normal task]
- +2 15min-hour [a long task]
- +3 an hour-six hours[ half a days work]
- +4 six hours-12 hours [a days work]
- +5 12-24 hours [all the time].
No Hearth magic can be higher than 6 pts.
