An interesting book to think with. I like the magical world and its grounding in real-world occult thinking. Its metaphysics are certainly better thought-out than anything in the World of Darkness, for example. Unfortunately real world esotericism is often racist and incredibly elitist, and this game definitely drunk from that well. Reading this book, I was sometimes struck with the idea that the book wanted you to play the bad guys, but was unaware of it.
