Minor Magic

Minor Magic

Minor magic consists of basic spells that are learned by an apprentice mage as he first learns his craft. They are of little power and can cause no significant effects. They are of such limited power that they do not cause a backlash effect if the attempt to cast them is unsuccessful.  The target number to successfully cast a minor magic spell is 8.  Players purchasing a magic path generally gain all minor magic spells in that path.
