5 / 10LxndrInteresting stuff, a bit confusing and seems to contradict itself in places when it tries to go game-mechanical.
4 / 10SkiorhtMainly of academic interest. Some nice bits you can pilfer for your occult games.
3 / 10JDCorleyI can't believe this slipped through SJG's normally impeccable editorial fingers.
3 / 10ShannonASome neat info here, but not very usable by any means.
2 / 10Lord RasputinThe various laws and whatnot are useful. The magic system mechanics he gives are not. And the author is a first-rate jerk.
2 / 10ThanuirUseless as far as the system goes, but can be ravaged for inspiration on the workings of magic.
2 / 10Zachary The FirstA few decent magic ideas, otherwise worthless.
1 / 10g026r[SJG 2nd Ed.] I don't know where to begin... You'll never use the rules in a game -- that is, if Bonewits's attitude doesn't put you off it before you even finish the rules.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
