Cheatsheet for Lee's Viking Game

Steads

• Grimstead -- mostly Rita at this time. The stead-older is named Einar and is supposed to be Barry's PC. I sometimes call it Einarstead by mistake.
• Amundistead -- mostly Tim who says, Armundi-stead's matriarch, Bjarna, aged 65, is the widow of Alti Armundison; she's been managing the stead since her husband's death sevenyears ago."
• Thorkelstead -- Mark. The lineage alternates the names Thorkel and Gunnar. (Pedro and Olivia are here.)
• Urrstead -- John Redden inherited it from Richard Aronson, but steadholder Gizur Urrsson remained in Vinland, so his wife, Barry's Gudrun Peace (named after her magic sword), is running the place. (The reindeer is here at least some of the time.)
• Gizurstead -- Rick. At one time the steadholder was Gizur Not-A-Rune-Mage.

Magic

All the students at the Paris Black School learned See in the Dark (as a twisted Sensation / Irritability spell -- involving Anger at Light)

Note: This also means that the ability to see in the dark may be a sign of another Black School graduate.

For instance, Black Magic:

• AGE: weakness, forgetfulness, sicken, deafen, sleep, impair healing, etc.
• MIRROR: change shape, change form, change material, change size, language
• ANGER: fear, despair, guilt, lust, hunger
• EAT: destroy food, heat, light, air, space, time, water, fertility, soil, gravity, magnetism, magic, speed, timeflow (= fast forward time).

Olivia's Black Magic:

All the students at the Paris Black School learned See in the Dark (as a twisted Sensation / Irritability spell -- involving Anger at Light)

Besides that Olivia seems to have learned Sleep and also Impair Healing -- which she then twisted back as White Magic to Healing when helping out the reindeer

I think she also learned either Fear or Impair Fear (both Anger spells, the latter dulling legitimate fear). She might be able to twist this to a White Magic spell of Calmness or something similar that would make people not be afraid of her or others who weren't a threat to them.
