The system is fascinating in every way, but the arrangement of information needs massive reordering. Once all the pieces are in place in the reader's mind, the rules appear simple, but on first reading the system looks horrifically complicated because the information is not properly organized.
The 5th edition of the game that changed role-playing. Ars Magica pioneered 'troupe-style' play, where players would be alternate being the main character (a wizard), then a supporting character (Companion), and then one of the guys with a sword (Grogs). Set in Mythic Europe, with the first system of magic (as opposed to a collection of spells) that allowed players to design their own spells. Still a very good game.
