 This past week brought a new release from Zombie Sky Press, Incantations in Theory and Practice. It updates and expands incantations (the alternate magic system from 3.5E) for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. There are new options for players and GMs and 3 new incantations.
The pdf is currently available at Paizo and RPGNow.
Want another opinion? Paizo messageboarder Krome gave a review:
… I love the formatting…
… These rules expand upon the Incantations from 3.5 and really make them available to all classes and all levels. This opens up a HUGE variety of plots, and flavor for GMs and Players alike…
… In fact I DO recommend you buy it!
While Zombie Sky Press keeps busy pushing out the next project, I wanted to point out some recent reviews for Incantations from the Other Side and Rituals from the Other Side.
Lou Agresta’s RPGAgression has posted 5 out of 5 rudii for both titles:
This is great stuff. Meaty and earthy. Coached by the authors to keep the inner workings of the spirit world a mystery, Incantations and Rituals helps GMs make magic scary and awe-inspiring again. Remember those days of wondering just what the heck the magic-user at the table will pull out of the hat? Well, welcome them back, even if you are – especially if you are – the magic-user. Not to mention, I’ve always found there’s nothing quite like a rich connection to a real-world system of magic and its can’t-help-but-be-gripping imagery to bring game magic alive.
And terraleon has posted reviews at EN World, Incantations and Rituals:
Overall, I think this book is a great purchase. It has material that players will be tempted to use (if given access), exotic and unusual magic to spice up settings and stories, and great magic that works great for villains or heroes without some kind of alignment bias. Even better than that, this material is functional in worlds where magic should be nonexistant or very weak– because the characters are never responsible for the effects, all the magical power comes from the summoned spirits. You want to put a little lost magic in a d20 Modern or Future game without unbalancing the world or adding a whole set of mechanics? This book provides a great way to do so and keep your setting in balance.

 Over at RPGNow, Shane O’Connor has written the very first review of Incantations from the Other Side: Spirit Magic… and gives it 5 stars!
Shane writes: “it left me wanting more” and “this book is what every RPG designer hopes their sourcebook will be: inspirational.”
That is just what we had hoped! It thrills us that gamers are enjoying it. Are you? Let us know.
Check it out for yourself: Incantations from the Other Side: Spirit Magic for Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and Rituals from the Other Side: Spirit Magic for D&D 4E.
Welcome to life under the Zombie Sky! There’s interesting things on the way. Our first pdf is now available… one version for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and one version for 4E.
Incantations and rituals give an exciting twist to magic and are accessible to any character. Be warned, though, for the magic in this book is not for the weak of heart. It tempts with great power but brings only ruin to the unwary.
In this book, you’ll discover…
- The intensity of Voodoo, a bridge between the mundane and divine
- The wonder of an idyllic Old World folklore, an animistic celebration of nature and Slavic fairy tale
- The madness of the Arcanum, a supplication to mind-blasting terror
This magic is mysterious and powerful. It is not something to be played with and can quickly consume the careless. This is magic with a price, and it demands your respect. This is an unpredictable, living, breathing magic.
Incantations from the Other Side: Spirit Magic and Rituals from the Other Side: Spirit Magic are perfect resources for players wanting to add a little danger to their characters or for game masters needing that extra something for their game world. These 38-page, high-quality, full-color, web-optimized pdfs are compatible with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and 4E, and they contain 20 dangerous new incantations and rituals, 36 new spirits, a sample arcane lodge, and a new disease.
