Green Ronin Dragon Age Preview 2
Now we take a look at magic. This one is a two pager and give us some insight into the mechanics. For one it uses a mana pool. Also you seem to be limited to the number of spells you have. You start with 3 and gain one every other level. Mana pools work quite well but hopefully they have the mage somewhat combative with magic staffs or something. The mana pool reminds me of 2nd edition D&D alternatives you could find on the net at the time rather then be restricted by the x number of spells per day. I also wonder about MP regeneration rate. Will it come back quickly enough. This kind of thing could make or break interest in this. I think some of us are used to having Mages that can always do something. I am personally down for having fatigue but when I run out of spells I like the ideal that I am not some farm hand on the side that is liability in combat. I guess time will tell but I am very interested to know more.
