The Modern Grimorie

The needs of the day define the magic of the day.

In ages past, spells enchanted swords so they could slice through the ectoplasmic bodies of ghosts, torches were made everburning, supple wood was hardened to iron, and the speech of the dragons held ancient words of power. And while Modern Spellcasters might use the old magic, including using ancient spells their original creators never intended, the old magics have lost some of their luster in the modern world. What good is ironwood in a world where carbon nanotubes exist, how does flamestrike stack up against incendiary sabot rounds, and what good is the ability to sing the language of dragons in a world where the great wyrms are long since extinct?

The Modern Grimorie is a collection of new spells for use in any modern magic or sciencefantasy campaign, including campaigns set in any of Otherverse Games’ four main campaign worlds: Black Tokyo, Galaxy Command, Otherverse America, and Psi-Watch. Inside you’ll also find a selection of rules toggles that alter the way magic works in your campaign.
