Re: The OotS Magic Compendium
I really like this. I still see no spells from bonus materials. I was planning on re-reading the books so can keep track of any spells there.
I have to admit I didn't read all 7 or so pages of posts so not sure if you decided not to include those for some teason or may someone else did already and found none.

Re: The OotS Magic Compendium
I still don't have the books, but I'd be fine with including them if you're willing to do the work.
The question is, should I make a separate section for them or include them in the current list? I'm inclined to make it separate, since I can't have links to them, and can't really number them the same way.Scientific Name: Wombous apocolypticus | Diet: Apocolypse Pie | Cuddly: Yes

Re: The OotS Magic Compendium
I personally would say they should have their own section.

Re: The OotS Magic Compendium
I think they should go in the main list. You could handle them like the number of character appearances list and put them in a different color.

Re: The OotS Magic Compendium
I'd ignore this story for the same reason I suggest ignoring SS&DT: it's basically non-canon. Yes, it has a framing story of being told by Elan to Haley during some dead time in the palace in Bleedingham. But many of the stories in SS&DT have a framing story as well, but that doesn't make them canon.

Re: The OotS Magic Compendium
I'm not sure if non-canon is a reason to not include an example of a spell. If we do the prequels and other PDF's, as well as the extra pages in the printed copies of the books, I think its easy to have a write up for the non canon stuff as well. Placement wise, I suppose we'd put non canon stuff at the end of the list within each spell, and prequel stuff at the beginning.

Re: The OotS Magic Compendium
For no particular reason, I would like to point out that the effects of the vampire's dominate ability shown in #1001 is a very close match for the RAW effects of suggestion ("influence the actions of the target creature by suggesting a course of activity") or even charm person (which "makes a humanoid creature regard you as its trusted friend and ally"), whereas in the past its effect has been like dominate person (nearly-complete control over the target, like a puppet).
Those sorts of mind-control spells have been depicted inconsistently, usually giving the caster complete control over the target's actions (like Vaarsuvius "suggesting" that Enor sit on his hands), even if it's only supposed to be an influence (like Nale "suggesting" that Elan get angry at Haley).I like semicolons; they make me feel smart.

Re: The OotS Magic Compendium
Magic Abilities list
Errors
Command Undead – (Cleric) is in there twice
Fear (Eye of Fear and Flame) is in strip 469, not 496.
Additions
Alternate Form (Vampire) 932
Gaseous Form – (Vampire) 874
As far as I can remember, this is the only Gaseous Form you've missed.
One very minor detail, really more of a formatting thing, is that some of the abilities have a hyphen or dash between the name and the open parenthesis and some do not. The corrections above are good examples, since I copied and pasted all of them. I'd say you need to standardize this kind of thing while going for the minimum number of characters. The minimum number of characters would be to have neither one, since the two parts are distinct by bolding/not bolding. But if you still feel the need for something, then I suggest a dash and no parens. Next would be parens and no dash or hyphen. Having both is a waste of text. Normally you don't worry about this kind of stuff, but there is that pesky restriction on number of characters.
Checking the other two lists, I noticed that all entries have an unnecessary hyphen or dash after them. I realize that this is probably a leftover from when the whole entry was on a single line. But if you want to reduce character count, getting rid of them would be a good way to do it. While you're at it, get rid of any trailing spaces on all the lines; those are counted towards the total chartacters too. I realize that this would be a lot of work and that's why you haven't done it. You may just want to remember it as an option for the next time you run up against the character limit.Curated Thread: Gazetteer of the Stick

Re: The OotS Magic Compendium
Tons of magic use in 1018. Spells include flame strike (twice, and we see the effect of a third), mass cure serious wounds, mass inflict serious wounds, and mass resist fire. "Spell-like" (cleric) class abilities include turn undead and bolster undead.
