I've always been of the opinion that magic is as much a part of the world as gravity. Its absence is fundamentally impossible, at least without changing what the very universe looks like. If you take away matter, spirit, life, and mind, then what remains?

Magic is not "supernatural." It is natural. To be without it, and yet still exist at all, THAT is unnatural in the extreme, implying that you are made of something that the entire universe around you isn't.

This was really interesting, though I'm not sure I understood everything that was going on. Was there a reason not to just ask for payment normally?

I do love the everyday magic, though. Exactly what I want to see. People in a world where magic is as natural as air should have little, everyday things they can do.

Ah. I do end up buying most of the rulebooks, it might be cost-effective to... Eh, I'll do some math. Thanks for the tip!

I really enjoyed this book. Lots of rich history and culture, and ways to integrate that into a character. It really makes me want to explore the Mwangi Expanse or the River Kingdoms, or even Old Cheliax. I just have one problem with it: It was basically all about humans.

That's fine when it's the idea of a book. Humans deserve just as much of a spotlight as any other ancestry. But when this was supposed to be about the rich diversity of Golarion, 99% of it was about the diversity of one specific inhabitant species. Alkenstar, a single city-state in a desolate wasteland, got as much attention as the entire nation of Kyonin, and several times more than the three Mualijae nations put together - and that's just the Elves.

Again, I still loved the book, and I'm keeping it around for inspiration. I just think a better title for it would've been "Humans of Golarion."
