id="cite_ref-Arcane9_1-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Arcane9-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He felt that the chapter on alternate magic systems "contains the most ambitious and far-reaching options in the book".<sup id="cite_ref-Arcane9_1-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Arcane9-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He adds that the rules "are compatible with the first <i>Player's Option</i> book, <i><a href="/wiki/Player%27s_Option:_Combat_%26_Tactics" title="Player's Option: Combat & Tactics">Combat & Tactics</a></i>, and include a range of new tables and spells that allow for arms to be disintegrated, rib cages to be crushed and a range of other gruesome effects".<sup id="cite_ref-Arcane9_1-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Arcane9-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He complains about the inclusion of "obligatory" new spells: "It seems that TSR still finds it impossible to release an <i>AD&D</i> supplement that concerns magic without throwing in at least 50 of these, nevertheless, some of those on offer are interesting (if somewhat potent).<sup id="cite_ref-Arcane9_1-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Arcane9-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He commented on the revised spell lists: "Although most of the changes are fairly minor, they do go a long way towards making sense of these confusing aspects of the game."<sup id="cite_ref-Arcane9_1-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Arcane9-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Butcher concluded of the book: "As the last book in the <i>Player's Options</i> series, <i>Spells & Magic</i> achieves what it sets out to do. It's the most in-depth look at every aspect of magic in <i>AD&D</i> so far, offers a host of optional and expanded rules for dealing with it in the game, and complements the other <i>Player's Option</i> books perfectly."<sup id="cite_ref-Arcane9_1-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Arcane9-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Butcher goes on to say, "However, by offering a means for referees to customise the way magic works in the game, it also goes some way to solving the inherent limitations of <i>AD&D</i>. The magic system has always been cited as one of the key weaknesses of the rules by its detractors, and it has to be said that they have a point. The basic system models one particular style of magic (heavily inspired by Jack Vance's <i>Dying Earth</i> books), and this lack of flexibility has often been the cause of headaches for referees and players alike. The spell point system, though not perfect, does offer alternatives to the standard 'memorise and spell, and then forget it when you cast it' system, and is a welcome addition." Addressing some of the challenges with the book and the <i>Player's Option</i> series, he continues: "<i>Player's Option: Spells & Magic</i> is not without a couple of problems, though, both of which are related to the other books in the series. Firstly, although you don't actually <i>need</i> the other books, they're certainly very helpful and some sections of <i>Spells & Magic</i> are of little use without them. On a more general note, <i>Spells & Magic</i> shares the same downside as the entire series - by using the <i>Player's Option</i> books it's possible to completely customise your <i>AD&D</i> game, and overcome many of the limitations of the basic rules. However, doing so adds significantly to the complexity of the game".<sup id="cite_ref-Arcane9_1-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Arcane9-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Butcher concludes his review by stating: "Still, there's no denying that both on its own and as the final part of the series, <i>Spells & Magic</i> is an interesting and useful book for any <i>AD&D</i> referee.<sup id="cite_ref-Arcane9_1-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Arcane9-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Reviews">Reviews</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Player%27s_Option:_Spells_%26_Magic&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Reviews"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><i>Dragon</i> #234</li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Casus_Belli_(magazine)" title="Casus Belli (magazine)">Casus Belli</a></i> #121<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Australian_Realms" title="Australian Realms">Australian Realms</a></i> #29<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Player%27s_Option:_Spells_%26_Magic&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-Arcane9-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-2"><sup><i><b>c</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-3"><sup><i><b>d</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-4"><sup><i><b>e</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-5"><sup><i><b>f</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-6"><sup><i><b>g</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-7"><sup><i><b>h</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-8"><sup><i><b>i</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-9"><sup><i><b>j</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-10"><sup><i><b>k</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-11"><sup><i><b>l</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-12"><sup><i><b>m</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-13"><sup><i><b>n</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-14"><sup><i><b>o</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-15"><sup><i><b>p</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Arcane9_1-16"><sup><i><b>q</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFButcher1996" class="citation journal cs1">Butcher, Andy (August 1996).
