Introduction

Welcome to Tales of Power, a collection of five stories for Ars Magica Fifth Edition. Similar to its predecessor, Tales of Mythic Europe, this book contains stories for your troupe. Designed for powerful magi and their associates (advanced companion and grog characters), each story can be played as a stand-alone adventure. The stories can also be incorporated into your saga with little effort, providing a string of spectacular exploits worthy of your characters. Magi should be approximately 50 to 60 years out of apprenticeship, and while most of the stories are designed for one or two magi and their companions, they could easily include every magus in the covenant.

The following introductions offer a brief summary of each adventure, enough to indicate its rough outline without giving away any secrets. Every member of your group can read the introductions. Groups with multiple storyguides can allocate the stories as desired, with each storyguide picking the story that she would most like to run. Groups with a single storyguide can indicate which adventure they would like to play first.
