Magitech, 3.5, WIP, PEACH

[BelGareth]

I think Gramarie is amazing, and I'm in awe at how Kellus writes his stuff.

But one thing bothers me with Gramarie....it's too damn complicated for me.

So I'm trying to make a simplified version, for those of us who lack the infinite reaches of mind shattering creativity, and need more solid definitions.

This is still very much a work in progress.
