Hi!
Next month my friends and I are probably going to run a game of "Dragon World", a hack of Apocalypse World we're thinking of lately. Well, it's more a re-colouring, not a deep hack. We like Apocalypse D&D and Dungeon World, but they don't have extactly the feeling we're searching for.

Anyway, to handle wizards' magic we were looking at John Harper's Eye of Chaos, but tonight I thought of a different system. We like the way magic is treated in that hack (well, at least in the document available on John's blog), but we were aiming at something more flexible. So I came up with this move:

When you're casting a spell, roll+will. On a success, you can make a basic move rolling+will instead of rolling+other stat. On a 10+, you have +1 forward. If you try to obtain something with violence {similar to seize by force in AW, but not the same} this way, the spell counts as a weapon (1-harm intimate/hand/close, and choose 2 options:
- the spell bypasses physical protections (+ap);
- the spell is particularly powerful (+1harm);
- the spell affects more than one person (+area);
- the spell has a long range (+far).)
If you try to influence someone {similar to manipulate someone} this way, the spell itself counts as leverage.

I'm not sure if this move is appropriate, tough; we haven't playtested it yet. What do you think?
