Yes, this is probably the way I'll go. FYI, I'm using somewhat modified
Circle for a server right now, but am in the process of scratch-writing
a new one specifically for Exile. The rule system is completely drawn
out, as this is being taken from a LARP I help run. And to address the
"bad descriptions/bad writing" problem, I'm just going to do the
descriptions automatically, depending on what they use to do the ritual.
Components and all kinds of other goodies are required to make even the
most basic magic items, so it won't be hard to get good descriptions out
of several different components. The thing I dread most is trying to
limit advancement, when most mud players (IME) just sit down and script
a little XP-bot to do all the work for them. *sigh* Well, I volunteered
for this :P
Thanks for the help,
Justin
