Subject:      New K/S Area



Hi gang,



Here is a new K/S Area I was forced to design for the revamping

of the magic system I am doing.  I thought you all might find it

usefull.  I would like to hear any comments.  I have not done any

play testing or research into the rule book with this skill, if

it is already covered under some thing else let me know.  Also

any ideas to improve it (especially the text) would be greatly

appreciated.

New K/S Area: Calligraphy



Trait: Physical (though spiritual might also apply)

Notes: No sub-areas, no heka generation, no special rules (until

       the new magic system is more complete).



        This K/S Area provides talent in flowery writing.  The

characters themselves appear beautiful to behold.  This kind of

writing is practiced in particular in the Orient.  Chinese and

Arabic characters are the two most famous examples of this art.

Often the letters themselves are difficult to read and instead

form abstract images.  This skill is also important to those who

are learning to utilize rune magic as it teaches the fine motor

skill necessary to scribe the intricate runes.
