I have owned this game for 2 years now, recently started palying it and even got the card game becuse I love it so much. Im sorry if this is a repost of another topic, and Im sorry if Im beating a dead horse, but the search program on this forum sucks and I cant find anything easily.

I love the magic rules of the Core book, and I understand the "5 levels" of spells in the Core Exxet. I personaly love the Core rules for a more fluid control of the spells power, making lower path spells strenght equaling higher ones as the situation determines it. My problem lies in the fact that while FFG is translating the Exxet books (too slowly, in some cases but understandable) they are translating them purely for the Core Exxet. Artifacts, Spells (In the magus book) and other effects are all being cast with "Intermediate" and "arcane" levels, but these did not exist in the book the english speaking community has learned to use. So my question is this:

How do you (as GM's) work the 5 levels of magic with the base Core book? I am open to any advice or idea's. I dont want to lose the core magic but I dont want to punish my players for using the Meta Magic tree (all the +damage based on spell Level) and the Artifacts that you are paying a price for, getting a lower effect that what was intended.

I already use, and even like, the idea the Magic book mentioned, about using the free access paths in the Magic book as unique spells, running them as the 5 levels while using the core rules for the rest of your spells, but would like to know any way the others in the game (new players and experianced) are tweeking the rules system to accomidate the "new" material. It feels like running a 3.0 book in 3.5; possible, but not whole. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Sorry that I cannot answer your question, but I do have one of my own. What do you mean by "5 Levels?" There are 4 Levels in Arcana Exxet, but I do not know if that is what you are referring to.

Yeah I cant figure out what you are talking about with this whole "5 levels" business either. Core Exxet has 4 levels, them being Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and Arcane.

By the way, it is not FFG that is translating the books "for Core Exxet". The books are are originally written that way, already including the changes from Core Exxet. FFG are simply translating the books as written... well originally they were, Prometheum doesnt really count given how much they screwed it up.

Yes, I do appologise. I realise I was wrong with the 5 levels, it was only the 4. However, I do ask that we move on from my mistake on the translators and number of spell levels involved in casting. My question is still a valid one, since you undestood what I meant by the spell levels in core exxet, being confused by my forgefulness. I can clarify my question with an example:

Pg. 22 of the Arcana Exxet, "Increased Destruction: Sphear one; The Base damage of spells cast by the character increases by +10 for basic spells, +20 for Intermediate level, +30 for advanced level, and +40 for Arcane level."

Now, how do you Personaly run this with the Core magic rules of "every 10 points boosts the spell". Im not asking for official rulings or special erratas, just personal ideas and advice. Making basic Base cost, Intermediate +10, advanced +20 and Arcane +30 is a little too strong, as the 4 levels were meant to be several kicks appart (seen by looking at the cost/effects in the arcana exxet) so I cant run it that simply. Does anyone have any ideas.

And please, do not take this the wrong way, Im not looking for what I have typed or spoken in mistake, i just want people who are using Anima Core and the Arcana Exxet to discuss how they are making the two rules work together. This way we can all learn from each other how each of us play and maybe make a few things clear. Thank you.

I don't use no more the base version so I may say stupid things but does a system like base / base+5 / base+10 / base+15 work for you? Or base / base+5 / base+15 / base+30

Well Personally I use the spells from Core Exxet, I do this because I own and can read Core Exxet just as well as my english books. But Generally , given that Core Exxet is the updated version of the rules whether FFG translates it or not, most people just use the spells from Core Exxet instead of the original system. And this can be done perfectly easily whether you are able to read spanish or not, and even for free, as there are several copies of the translated spell listings floating about the forums.

However if you are completely set on using the original system then honestly I have not real information for you, as the Metamagic Advantages simply were not designed for the old system.
