Hi,
looking on Magical Compounds, i ask me a question :
how does it works for a mundane?
Let's take some "Little Smoke" (and make a special dedication to Carlos Castaneda).
The Little Smoke grants me Concealment and Confusion critter powers.

About Concealment Critter Power : "Concealment subtracts a number of dice equal to the critter’s Magic from any Perception Tests to locate the concealed subject." As a mundane, i have no Magic, so this have no effect, or does the Magical Compound grants me a Magic score, and if it is, how much?


Another question, Dunkenzan testament wasn't talking about rewards on creating magical stuff usable by mundanes?

Use the Mundane's Essence Rating as the Magic Rating.
In fact, I would use the Awakened's Essence Rating as the Magic Rating as well. No need to use different rules for different people.

Probably Not...
