Comments

Huh... any idea why these were cut? Seems like quite a bit of content to just drop like that. -- DigitalSentience

Lack of space, most likely. With the larger chapter on warstriders and the new chapter on summoning some content had to go. 160 pages seems to be about as large as WW like to make their Exalted softbacks (Time of Tumult notwithstanding). - Moxiane

Also, a lot of these spells are the suck. There really wasn't much reason to reprint spells like Floral Ferry, Curtain of Quartz, or The Eye and the Mouth -- they're lame and uninteresting. I'm sad to see a few of the neater spells -- like Violent Opening of Closed Portals -- go, but most of the cuts to the Emerald Circle, at least, are quite sensible. -- Charlequin

I would say 'some' or maybe even 'a few' were sensible, not 'most', but that's just me. Floral Ferry is the most useless I can think of, but there are a lot in that list that are really good, useful, interesting and fun.
-- Darloth

It's true, a number of them sucked, but dude, Enemy of Nature was the most awesome spell EVAR. It was awesome. --Prions

• • There are several good spells in the list but most people own both BO3C and S&S so its not really an issue unless you are brand new to the game. some of the spells are a little pintless but mos are good. personaly I rather like Floral ferry, its good to make a quick entrance or exit - being tracked by someone and stuck at a big river with no bridge... need a platform to launch a quick attack into an enemy harbour esp if its a small town, you can shape it to your own design so you could make a small fishing vessel, raft etc depending on your initial choice of plant material.
