| Mar 4, 2021 at 15:38 | comment | added | screamline | @JonAristotle I don't think so. I'm not super familiar with Ravenloft, but my understanding is that all resurrection magic is affected all thorughout Barovia; it's not a situational change specific to any particular casting of a resurrection-type spell. | |

| Mar 4, 2021 at 3:07 | comment | added | Jon Aristotle | @screamline yes I know you didn't mean Barovia, I mean are those similar types of things that you wanted to see in Faerun? I'm not sure I understood what you were asking and the barovian example came to mind. | |
| Mar 4, 2021 at 2:32 | comment | added | screamline | @Rykara What I'm after is information specific to the setting. That's what I was aiming for with the lore and forgotten-realms tags (assuming I'm using those tags correctly, anyway). Yes, a wand of the war mage +1 technically alters spellcasting, but it doesn't do so in a way that matters to the setting. It's a generic magic item. The globe of invulnerability example points to something that matters to the setting: star sapphires in Faerûn do something to spellcasting that one wouldn't expect but for the lore that says so. Does that help? | |
| Mar 4, 2021 at 1:28 | comment | added | Rykara | I kind of see what you're getting at but I'm not quite sure where the line between lore and not lore is drawn. Your reference to Globe of Invulnerability seems squarely in the former category, for example. | |
| Mar 4, 2021 at 0:53 | comment | added | screamline | @JonAristotle I didn't have Barovia in mind. I'm really interested in Faerûn per se. | |
| Mar 4, 2021 at 0:50 | comment | added | screamline | @Rykara Fair question. I framed this as a lore question rather than a rules question in an effort to avoid purely mechanical stuff, but maybe that doesn't quite come across? | |
| Mar 4, 2021 at 0:35 | comment | added | Jon Aristotle | Would the Alterations to Magic in Barovia be an example of something you had in mind? resurrection madness or the cosmetic spell modifications? | |
| Mar 3, 2021 at 23:57 | comment | added | Rykara | Wouldn't, just by way of example, all +1/+2/+3 magical items fit the description of an external, non-innate thing that augments spellcasting power? | |
