I'm not that familiar with MRQ magic, so I couldn't recommend any particular spells, but the RQ Spellbook has a whole bunch of spells that might be
useful.<BR><BR>Hope that helps.<BR><BR>See Ya<BR><BR>Simon<BR>-------------- next part --------------<BR>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<BR>URL: <<A href="http://rpgreview.net/pipermail/runequest_rpgreview.net/attachments/20110611/fad00945/attachment-0001.html" target=_blank>http://rpgreview.net/pipermail/runequest_rpgreview.net/attachments/20110611/fad00945/attachment-0001.html</A>><BR><BR>------------------------------<BR><BR>Message: 2<BR>Date: Sun, 12 Jun 2011 11:07:14 +1000<BR>From: <A href="mailto:lev@rpgreview.net" ymailto="mailto:lev@rpgreview.net">lev@rpgreview.net</A><BR>To: "RuneQuest Rules" <<A href="mailto:runequest@rpgreview.net" ymailto="mailto:runequest@rpgreview.net">runequest@rpgreview.net</A>><BR>Subject: Re: [Runequest] BEASTMASTER<BR>Message-ID:<BR> <<A href="mailto:01b1bca8926adb7d989eddcb8dbb03d9.squirrel@webmail.rpgreview.net"
