Hedge Magic (Ars Magica)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book for those interested in the subject matter
Review: A very good book, although the introductory fiction is one of the worse pieces ever written for Ars Magica (it's too large and feels very artificial). Four types of hedge wizards are described: Cunning Folk, Spirit Masters, Natural Magicians and Ascetics. My favorites are the Spirit Masters and Natural Magicians, mainly because due to their presence the book also includes a very nice appendix detailing Items of Virtue (for the Natural Magicians) and some spirits (for Spirit Masters). The Cunning Folk are on the bottom of my list due to the inclusion of the totally unnecessary rules of wild vis.

Be warned, though, that, if you're not intending to include any of the above four in your Saga, the only useful part of this book will be the appendix.
