So... anything else needed on the Seeds? Are there any glaring areas that are missing?

Did you confirm that everything is in the table?

I forgot, how are we doing metamagic for the seeds?

General ideas that are missing (or a quick search didn't find them):

Detect lies/force people to tell the truth
Sense the health/condition of people
Charm/speak with animals
Granting senses such as Darkvision
Animate Object
Remove Curse (such as for cursed items)
Telekinesis

I'm not saying they're not needed, they're just ideas.

We aren't, I think. Spells already have a lot of the benefits built into the base package - ie, fire damage is 2d6/point vs 1d6/point in Vancian. Plus, casters don't need the help.

These were the seeds I had on the to-do list before I decided to just press ahead:
Anti-Scrying (False Vision) - Illusion
Mud to X, Earthquake - Transmutation
Petrify/Turn to Ice - Transmutation
Grease/Sleet Storm - Conjuration
Telekinesis/Sphere - Evocation

I can see some arguments for metamagic but they're all niche cases.

Want me to help create more seeds?

It'll have to wait until this weekend, I've been super busy this week.  Nudge me again Saturday, I should have time then to focus on it.

It's pretty much done. It's just that we're now adding extra seeds to it, because we want to. And I need to update the list of seeds in the first seed post which isn't quite up to date.

Also, if you want to chat to me about this, I'm always on the discord.

In your opinion, have you:

  • covered all spells from the books (at least core)?
  • covered all possible (in theory) spell combinations? i.e. there are no spells this system cannot reproduce.
  • this ruleset is balanced?
