RULES OF THE ROAD

1. Do not include large sections of a message in your reply. Especially
   not to add "Yeah, I agree" or "No, I disagree." Or be excoriated.
   If someone writes something good and you want to say "good show"
   please do.  But don't include the whole message you praise.
2. Use an appropriate Subject line.
3. Learn the art of paraphrasing:  Don't just quote and comment on a
   point-by-point basis.  When paraphrasing you demonstrate exactly
   how well you understand the point someone was trying to make.
4. There is no number 4.

     Looking at the new list of spells Sandy's system, I noted that a lot 
     of reverse spells have been introduced, 
     particularly in the enchantments. As improvement in spell is long for 
     a sorcerer in order to become good, may 
     be it is possible to create a new sorcery skill (or Art, depending of 
     the system used) called "Reverse".
     By using this Art, a sorcerer can manipulate a spell to give it the 
     reverse effect. For example, a Haste could 
     become a Hinder. This can also works for Enchantment, as a Magic Point 
     Matrix Enchanment can become a 
     Sink Magic Point. However, the cost when using this Art is 1 
     additional MP per MP used in the manipulation. 
     For example, a sorcerer having the spell of "Haste" wishes to cast 
     Hinder 6 using his art of Reverse. This will 
     cost him 12 MP.
     Due to this increase in cost of MP, it may still be useful for the 
     sorcerer to learn both spells, as in this case he 
     may use both with normal MP cost. However, for unfrequent use of some 
     spells, it may be interesting for the 
     sorcerer, in order to keep Free INT, to learn only one type of spell 
     and use Reverse Art instead to cast the 
     opposite one.
     For spells not having clear opposite, it is up to game master to allow 
     reversability and to decide of the effect.

I know that parameters for Impalas are published in _Glorantha_Beastiary_,
but are the impala Rider (pygmies) parameterized anywhere?  What range of
values should be used for SIZe, STRength, etc.?
