- Good book, but not very suited for Mythic Europe. With a little work, you could make up a great Mythic North America with it, though.
- Improved in Dragon and the Bear.
- Pretty out of place in ME.
- Made more sense than Werewolf or Mage - unfortunately, ArM is not the World of Darkness.
- Buy Hedge Magic instead.
- Completely unnecessary and so out of paradigm that it stings like a mosquito bite right between your shoulder blades.
- Pretty good guide to shamans, but smacks of American Indian shamanism.
- Its poor fit with ME is a pity for an otherwise interesting book.
- White Wolf's Treatment of shamanism. Interesting.
- Beautiful, but limited use.
- ...being non-American, I am not displeased with this source book's Amerind flavor (this brings 'exotism' into play).
- Useful to build an Order of Odin and using Vikings in a saga.
- One of the better treatments of shamanism in any rpg, but doesn't fit really well into Ars Magica, nor does it seem like it would be fun to use in a game.
