I´ve found an error in the books with the spell "Flameshaft". This one is mentioned to be an improved grand master discipline of Magi-Magic but in the book "The Captives of Kaag" this spell can only be used with Kai-alchemy. Is this an error of Joe Dever?

Yes, I believe it is a Dever's Own error.  Could you post the Section Numbers where the problem occurs, please? I think we might have a record of this error, but there may be more than one occurrence of it, so it's best to be thorough about these things. At some point in the future, Project Aon plans to revisit the existing books and fix all the reported issues with them--and there are many! |

OK- the sections are 11 and 227. Can you tell me which discipline is the right one for the spell Flameshaft?
But you are right - there are many sections in the "Grand Master" books which have to be clarified or corrected.

Ah, yes, I see it. This problem has been noted in the past, and will be fixed when we re-publish the existing books. The fix that we plan to implement is to alter "Kai-alchemy" in Section 11 to "Magi-magic".
Hope it helps.

 I've been thinking...the spell flameshaft will burn the tip of arrow-like missile...does that include harphoon, lance or spear? I've been imagining a Grand Master lift a stock pile with Grand Nexus, and use Flameshaft to burn the tip, Hold Enemy to immobilise them and Penetrate to strike the stock pile through the enemy's heart! Wow...cool combo!  Notes: Am I being realistic here?

The fix that we plan to implement is to alter "Kai-alchemy" in Section 11 to "Magi-magic". Hope it helps. Actually, this fix is not enough... From section 11 you can turn to section 227 where it reads: 'You invoke the words of the brotherhood spell Flameshaft [...]' You should correct this section too, because the flameshaft does not belong to the brotherhood of Banedon, instead it comes from Lord Rimoah! It seems a Joe Dever's double mistake!  |

Damn! You're right!  OK, a second proposal has been made to also correct Section 227: [/li][li]Brotherhood spell -> Elder Magi battle-spell Thanks for pointing this out! I bet those sections have caused a great deal of confusion over the years. If you spot any other errors, don't hesitate to report them here. |

::)Well, I have a question regarding the left-handed magic, but I don't think a new thread is necessary, so I just post it right here. The left-handed magic, is it really using the left hand?Or is it just a name, because in GM series, Lone Wolf uses his right hand to cast Lightning Hand... (I imagine the Emperor Palpatine used his Force Lightning to kill Luke  ) |

Left-handed and right-handed magic refers to the way the magic is used rather than which actual hand is used. Righ-handed magic is the preserve of the Nadziranim, whereas left-handed magic is practised by the Brotherhood of the Crystal Star. Both are refined forms of the original magic of the Elder Magi. The Legends novels 1 and 9 (Banedon's Telling) extrapolate on and explain the theory a bit better.
