Title: Spells in mage's arsenal
Post by: Kato on <09-24-19/1941:59>

A mage knows 17 spells (arbitrary number). Can that mage cast any of those 17 spells or are they limited to selecting X number of spells per run? I'm not sure if it is like D&D, for instance, where a mage can have 10 first level spells in his spell book but can only memorize 5 of those spells at a time to use. I'm guessing the mage can cast any spell until they pass out from stun damage but am looking for clarification.

Yep, in SR all spellcasters are Spontaneous Casters, in D&D terms.

Drain serves as the limit on spellcasting.

Nice, makes sense to me. Thanks!
