All Kinds of Fun!
In Lenga, work has begun on the book of spells for use by spellcasters. As mentioned previously, the difference between a spellcaster and someone that knows how to speak Lenga is the Kela. A spellcaster invokes La Kela Lenga, a mental ability, to connect the energy for the spell with the power of thew words spoken. Without the Kela, a person is just saying words in another language.
However, tiny bits of magic are available to the common man or woman. They do not do much, but can be helpful in a jam. Basically, if a person has been taught, a piece of everyday magic can be used. A person needs a small piece of metal (about the weight and size of two nails or a copper piece). It requires three rounds of uninterrupted effort to chant the phrase and perform the apporpriate motions. When a person is finished, the metal is consumed, regardless of the success or failure of the piece of everyday magic. An ordinary person can only use up to three pieces of everyday magic in a 24 hour period.
Three examples:
Spice
This piece of everyday magic allows you add spice to something being cooked. Unlike using the actual spice, the finished food will taste like it is missing a little of the spice called for, no matter how much you use. This piece of everyday magic is usually done when only a pinch remains and more is needed. If you use some of the actual spice AND spice created with the piece of everyday magic, the finished food will taste fine. The chant for this piece of everyday magic is “*” and the motion is rubbing fingers together over the item being cooked.
Clean
This piece of everyday magic removes all small stains from a small pile of clothes. The chant is “*” and the motion is a scrubbing motion over the pile of clothes. (Small stains are determined by the GM.)
Bring to a Boil
This piece of everyday magic allows a person to boil up to a gallon of water or a quart of other liquid that is mostly water (like soup or a stew) within a minute. It is mainly by healers, but is also useful for making meals without a campfire. The chant is “*” and the motion is simply holding the container for half a minute.
Sycarion Diversions is a sister site of pinakidion.*. pinakidion.* deals more with religious and writing topics. This site houses information on games. Specifically, this has information on card games, board games, and role-playing games. Card games and board games are a collaborative effort with my friend Jeff. Jeff has created and briefly marketed one board game and has idea for lots of others. Role-Playing Games are my bailiwick. I've been playing since I was 10 starting with the Mentzer Basic D&D box. I stopped playing in college, but recently renewed my love for RPGs. In 2005, I discovered the Action! System from Goldrush Games. Since then, I have also found Microlite20 and OpenD6. It's a good time to game.

Part of the reason for this is that rules for games cannot really be copyrighted. However, the main reason is that the value of this site is the community I am a part of. Restrictions on ideas and games can delay innovation, even simple restrictions can be an impediment. Sure, I'd like a link and to be given credit, but that's up to the person.
