Great changes.
Thanks for all the work.
It's good to have a list of all these small things.
<Perceive Mana will combine sensing all the books of mana into one command (With equivalent RT and EXP to doing them one by one).>
I like this. Any chance for a way to combine perceiving all of the moons in one command? :)
<Perceive Teleologic Sorcery will give you a general feel for how much mana is available for Teleologic Sorcery and if your prophetic talents are currently bound by sorcery. This requires knowledge of at least on Teleologic spell (During the preview this means everyone can do it).>
Hmm. Does this mean that once the preview is over that those who do not want to pursue a career in Teleologic Sorcery will lose a means of learning PP, considering that Stellar mana was eliminated? It's minor I know, but still.

I suppose so. Darn, more temptation for corruption? I think I can live with that.

You just have to know the spell to get access to that perceive right? And just knowing the spell doesn't cause corruption?

Any chance you could reconsider this? I mean, we are able to perceive all four of the other Lunar Magics without even choosing a corresponding spell. Sensing mana and manipulating it are different things too arn't they, lore wise. It would make sense for a mage to be able to sense the potential for Teleological Sorcery but not make use of it. Also, what if one were to use a scroll with a teleological sorcery spell, make use of the spell, and then learn the forgotten spell? How would they sense the continuing damage to their connection with the PoP?

Nope. It if proves too be too much of a problem I will consider removing the exp from perc teleologic.
>>I mean, we are able to perceive all four of the other Lunar Magics without even choosing a corresponding spell
Teleologic Sorcery is not "just another spellbook".
>>It would make sense for a mage to be able to sense the potential for Teleological Sorcery but not make use of it.
Only if they've gone out of their way to learn how to form Teleologic Sorceries.
>>Also, what if one were to use a scroll with a teleological sorcery spell, make use of the spell, and then learn the forgotten spell?
I believe (And I'd have to double check the code) if you know a scroll you'll be able to sense the mana as long as you retain that knowledge.
>>How would they sense the continuing damage to their connection with the PoP?
I think we're confusing things here. Perc Teleologic will show you how long until an active sorcery on you fades (Which is what locks out the prediction system and other teleologic spells). It tells you nothing of your teleologic corruption that comes from using teleologic spells in general that weakens your ability to predict.

Will moon mages who do not practice teleologic sorcery be able to perceive the TS taint on moon mages who do?

Any Moon Mage can sense active Teleologic Sorcery on anyone.
No Moon Mage can sense Teleologic Corruption on anyone.
