The Red Book of Magic

"This isn't just about the spells; it is about the adventures that they help create.... Glorantha is probably the best researched and most cohesive settings in the world. Magic is integral to the setting, not a flimsy paste up." — RPGNet.

Penned by Zzabur, the Sorcerer Supreme himself, The Red Book of Magic is the indispensable source for expanded Rune and spirit magic. It’s an essential expansion to the RuneQuest experience for players and Gamemasters alike.

This is the free 40 page handouts pack for The Red Book of Magic.  It collects all the Rune spells from The Red Book of Magic into a handy reference for gamemaster and players alike, organized by Rune and alphabetically. The tables provide each spell’s Rune point cost and it's basic parameters (range, duration, etc.).  The second half of this resource is an alphabetical list of all Rune spells.

This reference guide can be used by Gamemasters when devising non-player characters and to create original cult spell lists based on spells typically offered by the cults associated with each Rune.
