   I prefer the latter method.  I like my magic rare and powerful -- which
I've noticed most players prefer as well.
   In fact, magic is so rare in my Sunday game that the group doesn't even
have a spellcaster of any kind!  (The last wizard player we had stopped
gaming to spend more time-energy with his studies.)  However, one character
will be spending some time performing a few long-term tasks (learning the
Heal spell and making some potions) so he's bringing in a beginning Hobbit
wizard.

   Yet another spell for you wizards out there . . .

IQ 14 SPELLS
INFERNO (S): This spell allows the wizard to project a
   massive burst of flame several meters in length.  When
   cast, a straight line is drawn between the wizard?s own
   hex and any other hex he chooses.  Everything in every
   hex that this line touches (except the wizard) is affected
   as if struck by a Fireball spell; but walls, doors, and
   other barriers /can/ block this fire damage just like they
   do versus Fireball.  The number of damage dice (1-1
   each) and ST cost are equal to the range from the
   wizard to the end hex.
      Inferno has little range compared to a missile spell,
   but is quite useful when facing multiple opponents ?
   especially when they?re coming at you in a narrow
   tunnel!
