What's Inside
Penned by Zzabur, the Sorcerer Supreme himself, The Red Book of Magic is the indispensable source for expanded Rune and spirit magic. It’s an essential expansion to the RuneQuest experience for players and Gamemasters alike.
A Tome of Spells
Over 500 spells for both Rune and spirit magic. These spells can be used by adventurers and NPCs alike. Also detailed are rules for Gamemasters to devise their own Rune spells.
New Beasts & Monsters
An array of new monsters to complement those found in the RuneQuest Glorantha: Bestiary. Magical creatures such as War Trees, Manlings, and Luxites are detailed to pit against your adventures, and each can spawn a new RuneQuest adventure of your own design!
New Rules
A wealth of new information on Rune metals, healing plants, and illusions. Special rules for ritual casting, and new methods for increasing your chance of successful spellcasting. The Red Book of Magic also contains the esoteric secrets of Hepherones’ Statement of Magic.
What The Critics Say
-
"This isn't just about the spells; it is about the adventures that they help create.... Glorantha is probably the best researched and most cohesive settings in the world. Magic is integral to the setting, not a flimsy paste up."
— Antonios S., RPGNet, Review of The Red Book of Magic.
-
"Much more than just a big list of spells."
— Reviews from R'lyeh, A Spellbinding Corollary.

Un grimoire très utile!
Un excellent ouvrage, magnifiquement illustré, que je recommande chaudement! La présentation est très pratique et permet aux Maîtres de Jeu, comme aux joueurs, de retrouver rapidement et facilement tous les sorts. De plus, sont présents les sorts de cultes non encore publiés dans la nouvelle version de Runequest, mais qui étaient présents dans d'anciens suppléments (Trollpack, etc). Très pratique pour le Maître de jeu qui voudrait créer des cultes d'esprits originaux, par exemple. Un must have!

Wonderful weird and awesome magic book
Sprawling book of Rune spells. A few more spirit spells, none from other magic styles. Art is breathtaking (though it may not be to your liking if you have certain hangups about the human form). The RQG line somehow continues its unbelievably beautiful product values, and I can't wait to use this in game.

Another beautiful product!
Another stunning product! Gorgeous artwork! Plus all the spells in one plays is brilliant, as well as firing a load of ideas for gamemasters! The supplementary info is good too, I would have like a few more spirit spells if I had any criticism.

The Red Book of Magic
This new supplement is a must have for any serious RuneQuest enthusiast! As has been the case with all of the material released so far for this iteration of RuneQuest, the book is beautifully laid out with outstanding artwork. It also pulls all the spells together in one place which will make bouncing between the rulebook and spell lists a lot easier. A great companion to the rulebook and it will be invaluable with the upcoming, much anticipated This new supplement is a must have for any serious RuneQuest enthusiast!

Second most useful supplement
Having every spell in one place while you play is incredibly useful, and makes the Red Book of Magic the second most useful supplement--right after the RQG rulebook! Many of the spells aren't tied to known cults yet, but gives us a sort of preview of the upcoming Gods of Glorantha books, which will be "must-haves" as well! The only thing I would have liked to see would be a list of the cults listed for each spell--instead of having to go back and forth between cult descriptions and this book--but I digress. This book will save players and GMs alike a boatload of time during play!

The Red Book Of Magic
Essential for any player or gm of RQG. Beautiful, evocative artwork combines with the indepth listing of spells for RQG. The perfect companion to the upcoming Gods of Glorantha and a necessity for anyone serious about running RQG,

Must have
Great art, very useful to have all the spells in one place, and a lot of deep in the magic in general. Very Happy
