its basically tecno wisardry for hippys
Svartalf- if Cherico were a character created in a point game system, he'd have all his scores in geeky skills and his youtube and weird net stuff schticks all paid through a a Terminal Bad Luck (with more nasty GM intervention) disadvantage, and probably an Uncouth (can not have social skills) disad as well...
In an RPG with deadly situations that character would have had to be replaced a dozen times over[

its a form of magic similar to technowizardry, but rather than enchant guns, vehicles, and other technology based items, its items like Spears, axes, and arrows that are enchanted.

the items are all made from wood, plants, bones, sinew and skin, so its called Eco-Wizardry, as in Ecosystem or Ecology.

basically organic technowizardry.

not that i noticed. its little more than a new way to apply magic, not really a new magic form.

Eco-wizardry weapons listed in the book are things like Curse Arrows (a hunting aid), horror mace (projects an image of a predator when in use, can scare your opponent), raptor claws (a nifty little hand to hand weapon, basically a raptor foot claw on a stick, held like the one alan grant uses on the kid in Jurassic Park.)

these are simple weapons, almost archaic, but with magical enhancement as per techno-wizardry style to add MDC damage and unique powers.
