Is orichalcum a radical material? I was just reading MITS's Enchanting Section when the idea hit me. If it is a radical, could using three (3) units create a -7 karma cost modifier when enchanting? Given enough time, it could lead to power foci that are cheap to bond. Modifiers applied are -4 for three materials used in enchantment, and -3 for the three units of orichalcum.

Cenetring can be used with any Magical Skill except Astral Projection as it says on P73 of MitS. Of-course, if your centering skill is particularily active (dancing, for example) then an evil GM might have you make fatigue tests or take stun damage...
I think that centering through arcaine languages fits well (you write on the focus whilst chanting) as do things that can be performed at rest (resting meditation ETC). I have a character right now planning on some-day using the Aura Reading skill as a linked skill for Centering. |
