Past showed that also, when dozens of POs of mages argued about if a certain ritual makes sense or not, why it can't work or can, why someone rped magic like that or that and so on. There are endless discussions and when you ask a GM the answer you get most often is: "I would say it like that, but I can't really tell it 100%. There are about as many opinions on that in the Staff as there are members."
I'm not saying that the GMs should tell us do that, add that, then say that and that will happen. I mean real basic basics, like what happens 100% when a mage uses up too much mana, how much do ties around a mage's hand and a cloth in their mouth hinder their magic and so on.
This is nesecarry in my opinion, to have the RP make sense in itself. What I mean is:
Mage A who's PO believes theory X has been doing a really strong ritual that was two hours of really hard work. After that, he lays down in a bed and sleeps a long sleep because his theory sais, that the thing he did is bloody exhausting.
Mage B who's PO believes theory Y has been doing the same thing and is totally fit, jumping around after 1 minute of taking breath, because his theory sais, that using so much magic doesn't do anything to a mage at all.
Once again, I don't want to have scientistic rules set on the magic, but basics should told so that the mages' POs have a "ABC" of fundamentals. Just because one doesn't believe that it hurts when he gets his arm cut off doesn't mean he doesn't feel the pain, if you know what I mean.
Edit: After readin over it again, I saw dozens of failures, but I'm lazy and German, so stick with it
