Ancient Magic <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ancient Magic<\/em> is a collection of classes, archetypes, spells, magic items, and optional rules inspired by historical accounts of magic in the ancient world. Like the rest of the AvV setting, we are skipping the middlemen (modern fantasy fiction) and going straight to the source material. Anything written about magic after 400 AD is considered too recent and too derivative for this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ancient Magic<\/em> is a book that I have always wanted at my own gaming table, since it explains magic in the way ancient people believed it actually worked. This is is by far the coolest, most useful, and most interesting gaming book I have ever written. It is also the most heavily researched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spells in this book are taken straight from Norse sagas, Egyptian tombs, and Greek spellbooks. These are all (supposedly) REAL spells that have been adapted to 5e. But this isn\u2019t just a book of spells. This book also includes new magic items<\/strong>, new concepts about magic, and new spellcasting classes all taken straight from ancient sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book is so large (520 pages) that it is split into two volumes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
