Novus 2nd Edition

Novus 1st Edition

There are three main types of spell casters in Novus. They are the Major Adept, the Minor Adept, and Non-Adepts. Here is a fuller description of each:

Major Adept (Mj): This is the most powerful type of spell caster. Major Adepts have the lowest cost on all Codified spells, using the “Mj” CP costs instead of the normal “N” CP costs paid by those who are not Adepts. This effectively works out as a 2 CP discount on the cost of learning spells (i.e. if a Codified spell is listed as costing 5 CP for a Non-Adept, the Major Adept only pays 3 CP for it). Major Adepts start off with 15 Spell Points and gain 1 Spell Point for each rank they have in their best Spellcasting skill. Major Adepts may learn and cast Universal Spells and spells from their School of Magic.

Minor Adept (Mn): This type of spell caster is a bit more versatile than a major Adept. He often ends up learning, and casting spells from two different Schools of Magic. When purchasing Codified spells, the Minor Adept uses the “Mn” CP costs instead of the normal “N” CP costs paid by those who are not Adepts. This effectively works out to be a 1 CP discount on the cost of learning spells (i.e. if a Codified spell is listed as costing 5 CP for a Non-Adept, the Minor Adept only pays 4 CP for it). Minor Adepts start off with 10 Spell Points and gain 1 additional Spell Point for each rank they have in their best Spellcasting skill. Minor Adepts may learn and cast Universal Spells and spells from their School(s) of Magic.

Non-Adept (N): This classification refers to all characters that are not already Adepts of one sort or the other. Non- Adepts may purchase and learn how to cast Universal spells; however they have to pay the full Character Point cost (the “N” CP cost) for the spell. They normally are not allowed to learn spells from a specific School, only Universal Spells. Non-Adepts start off with zero Spell Points and gain 1 Spell Point for each rank that they have in their best Spellcasting skill.
