Seems okay. Doy you have to download anything, or is it web-based?
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

Are these real??
read the Book of Mormon, something I seriously doubt you'd try. If you are worried about changes in the text, you can always find a copy of the original; they cost more but they are still being sold.
This is the very same man who ordered the massacre by Mormon militia of 120 non-Mormon settlers--men, women and children murdered in cold blood--on their way to California, a singular event in American history known as the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
I know many Mormons. They tend to be very nice people. They also tend not to ask many questions. And that's the problem.

With that said, I was troubled to learn that he is a devout Mormon. While all religious faiths rely on rather absurd premises, core Mormon doctrines enshrined in their sacred texts are especially pernicious, particularly those that elevate racism to the status of divine judgment of a people's intrinsic worth as human beings.
It's fascinating to see how the prophecy changed over the course of time, which I believe it might have even without Ruin's influence. For instance, the church of the Survivor had the "Holy First Witness" (or something like that, I don't have the books in front of me), which sounds very much like "Announcer".
That's the other thing about prophecies too. So many ways to interpret (and misinterpret) them.
