Template: Magical Keyword
This is the standard format of a Hero Wars magical character keyword. Note
that what was previously called Short Cult should now be labelled Magic Keyword.
For the magic keyword, if an entry is unimportant write in "no entry" so we know
that it is intentional. For subcults, the full magic keyword will likely not be
necessary, since we expect most subcults to have the same Virtues and Otherworld
home as the main god, for example. Thus, for subcults, use only those sections of
this format that are needed.
For descriptions of the various entries, see the
Other Deities chapter of Storm Tribe. Also, take a look at the
samples on this web site to see what it looks like in practice, since the different magic
systems have different formats.
