Basic Game Concepts:

Ars Magica is a company-style storytelling game. This means that players will not only role-play a mage, but also the companions and grogs who serve them. Each of these characters contributes to the pact they belong to and to the story itself.

The game is famous for its magical rules, which set a new standard for role-playing game magic systems. The system is divided into Arts, each of which comes with a set of verbs and nouns (called Techniques and Forms). Players simply put these together in sentences like "Control fire" to represent what they want to do.

This core rulebook contains all the rules you need to play, and there's a huge library of Ars Magica supplements in our catalog to help you develop your campaign. As a general rule, older sourcebooks can be used with the latest edition.
