Talk:Master of Magic (2022 video game)

Relationship with Magic: The Gathering

 * Moved from my talk page:

Thanks. You probably will want to adjust the wording in the original Master of Magic game. For what's it is worth, I am totally fine with your rewording, and I am not even sure the word 'many' is justified - most don't discuss this, it's a bit obscure trivia that folks occasionally comment on in the depts of the nerdnet. But as someone who played the original and the card game, yes, I think it is pretty "obvious". Six similar colors of magic wouldn't be a givaway although it's a big hint (five colors + colorless sixt color, to be exact), but they copied a number of spell names (I can't find any place with anyone counting them, actually, so I am not sure how many, to be frank - several to several dozen, IIRC). If it walks like a duck... And you are right, there are very few (too few) reliable sources for that. This is probably not reliable. This certainly isn't, but just driving the point that those in the know, well, know :) Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 05:40, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. There's still nothing (so far) that is a that it was in fact actually borrowed but I think after the first half dozen sources from major reviewers in the article and in the DYK and now additional informal sourcing, you've established that it's a very widespread belief among players and reviewers. We can't state that it actually happened; we shouldn't use it in the DYK hook; like you're saying, most might be inappropriate where many is accurate; but I think it's fair to say there is a general belief among many people and there's no need to  to drive that in any deeper than you already have, at least until someone comes in with countersourcing to suggest this is controversial in some way unmentioned by your copious references. —  Llywelyn II   05:59, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
