What other townborn combo would be good like steel and iron? Pewter and healing(don't remember the metal for that) maybe?
"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.

For a better explanation than that, you can listen to Brandon's own explanation (it's much better), but the podcast is VERY long and I don't remember where in the podcast this was brought up.
They probably plan on a one game per movie type of thing. Just as is done with the Harry Potter movies/games. In my experience, such movie-based games are usually a quite boring version of the movie were you'll have to walk through the story yourself.
But who knows, maybe they'll do better
How do the Mage books by Karen Miller compare to the Empress books? I read Empress and pretty much hated it, but the Accidental Sorcerer, also by Miller, writing as K.E. Mills, I really enjoyed. So I'm torn as to read the other ones, especially since my library doesn't have them and I would have to buy them.
