Magick in FUDGE
---------------
What a mage is capable of doing is defined by the level of skill he has in each
of the nine Spheres of Magick. In these rules, he cannot achieve an effect that
outstrips his knowledge, no matter his degree of success.
To work magick, the player describes the effect he wants to achieve. The
Storyteller decides on the level of skill required for the effect. If the
character is capable of the magickal feat, the player makes a task roll of 4dF +
the lowest appropriate sphere of magick (which are learned as Skills). The base
Difficulty of the feat is equal to the level of the effect. This Difficulty is
modified by several factors, detailed below.
The Relative Degree of success in the task determines how effective the mage is
at accomplishing the magickal feat.

Degree of Success
-----------------
Relative Degree Result
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 .............. Marginal. The magick barely works, achieving the minimum
effect necessary for temporary success (Damage: Base x 1.
Range: Touch/Self. Duration: One turn.).
+1 ............. Moderate. The mage succeeds, but not as well as he would have
liked (Damage: Base x 2. Range: Close, i.e., within a few
meters. Duration: One scene.).
+2 ............. Complete. The mage does exactly what he wanted to do (Damage:
Base x 3. Range: Medium, i.e., immediate vicinity. Duration:
A day or more.).
+3 ............. Exceptional. The mage's magick works better than he envisioned
it, perhaps having an added benefit (Damage: Base x 4. Range:
Long, i.e., line of sight. Duration: Up to several of weeks.).
+4 or better ... Phenomenal. The mage succeeds brilliantly (Damage: Base x 5 or
more. Range: Distant, i.e., out of sight. Duration: Several
months or more.).
