Chapter I
Modern Magika
2
Modern Magika is a supplemental book for the Ops and Tactics roleplaying game, focused around elements of fantasy, magic, and
the supernatural. It makes elves, dwarves and other fantastic races available to create characters from, and introduces several new
systems of magic with highly customizable effects, along with artifacts and new equipment associated with them. Standard magecraft
revolves around the user’s intelligence, and draws its power from written words and formulas of power. Whether a spell is scrawled
with crayon or scribed on fine parchment with high-quality mystical inks, the pen is mighty. Psionics revolve around the user’s wisdom,
and draws its power directly from the mind and body of those practicing it. Whether that power is focused within or without, psions are
flexible and able to shift their focus on the fly. Incantations revolve around the user’s charisma, and draw their power from spoken
words and languages of power. Whether summoning shadowy beasts or inflicting hexes, words can very much hurt you. With the
inclusion of adventuring equipment, Modern Magika can be used to run modern fantasy games as readily as it can handle a more
fantastical game, or anything in-between.

The Stylus
The stylus is a base attack, simply channeling raw magical
energy through a natural material, to primarily cause harm. A
mage of any spellschool can create a stylus, as this is usually the
first spell any mage learns. Styli are often the writing utensil they
use to write spells.
A stylus must be a rod-like object that is 1’ or less in length
and be comprised at least 75% of formerly living material such as
wood and plant material, bone, flesh, cloth, hair, fur, feathers, or
natural rubber.
In order to craft a stylus, a mage scribes a spell for 0 SP,
places an object of 1’ or less in the center, and then releases the
spell. Only the mage who originally scribed the spell may use the
stylus and only one stylus may be crafted by the mage at a time.
If a mage creates a new stylus while their old stylus exists, the new
one is now their stylus and the old stylus returns to normal.
Creating a stylus out of an object does not remove its original
properties, so if a character makes a stylus out of a weapon, or
any object, it still may be used for its original purpose. Styli appear
as normal objects to all but the stylus’ creator, who sees it with a
very faint glow and can sense its presence as long as it is within 5
feet.
