Sponsored Magic- a few questions

(1/2) > >>

KnightFerrous:
Ok, so the more I read up on it the more I become enamoured with Sponsored magic but I do have a few questions

1) Which sponsored magics can be taken without the backbone of mortal magic? Seelie and Unseelie have both been used in the books as a sole source of magic(re: the Knights). Kemmlerian necromancy obvious can't but what of the others? I can see the Places of Power source applying (do ritual X in location Y to gain access to magics Z) but from the books Soulfire and Hellfire seem mainly as supplemental, enhancing the existing Evocation, Channeling, Thumaturgy or Ritual abilities inherent in the character. Is that a fair run down? Or can their be characters who only weild Hellfire?

2) Focus Items. Can for example someone who has only Seelie Magic take the refinement ability to get focus items relating to it?

Deadmanwalking:
1. Only Kemmlerian Necromancy is explicitly restricted. I see no reason to believe that others wouldn't have been stated likewise if you couldn't have them on their own.

2. As per these threads:

Yes, and you get the base four slots to boot, AND a particular brand of Sponsored Magic counts as an Element for Evocation purposes.

well I bow to your previous knowledge while cursing myself for making the newbie forum faux pas of not just looking for it first. Thanks for the links.

Hey, no worries. They're good questions. You bringing them up proves I'm not completely insane for thinking they needed to be asked.  :)

Well you're not completely insane for asking them, not sure if you are completely insane for other reasons....

...Now i can't get the idea out of my head of a Soulfire wielding Janitor who was in the right place at the right time whose sole focus item is a 4 slotted Wooden Mop Handle that he is using as a staff...
