Magic the real UMT, This is mainly a rules issue Options

[Cynic project]

This thread will go into detail why if you must have different spirits for threats based on mind sets than you much have them for all different mind sets.

The fact is that insanity is a tricky thing to put a finger on and the 100 monkey rules rarely works.

Insect spirits do not need separate rules neither do shadim(sp) but you may argue that deep meta-planer spirits do need separate rules. That is a valid point.

I will go into detail in this thread why threats do not need new spirits from a rules point of view, and from a flavor point of view first before I go onto deep metplot spirits.

One, what do redemption cultist, nihilists, rebirthist , atheseists , agnostic, polytheists, and ceril killers have in common? They all most all would likely say that at least have of them are insane. To a polytheists the idea that there is no gods is silly, just as the idea that we will go to hell unless we bow down to one and only one god... I could point out more examples of this sort of logic but let's face it. Go to nearest Church, and ask the preacher or whatever.. Is it okay for you to bow down to Zeus as well as Jesus..I mean Jesus is just away to great Zeus..Hey. Zeus .

Now let's get down to the myth of the 100 monkeys. See about I think 40 years ago people started to notice that some monkeys on some island started to wash their food before eating them. They put out this paper saying that slowly monkeys would teach other monkeys to wash their food.Or some monkeys would copy the other monkeys. That is until one day 100 monkeys learned how to do this. Then not only did the monkeys that island who were not in those 100 monkeys started to wash their food, but monkeys on other islands did the same... An over night thing. The problem is that well over 10 years of the study what really happened was that some monkeys learned to clean their food, and some did not. Some islands had more monkeys that cleaned their food than other but no single island had all their monkeys do this, and well...

This boils down to this, if magic worked in away it did not matter what you thought of you magic or how you thought as it clearly does. THen toxic magic should be the same
