Re: Question about path boosters.
Yeah, I was using them (Rings of Wizardry) lots in a recent game where I got Enchantresses from a neutral, since they often have 1 in four paths. Pair it with a sorcery ring, and you have 3 strength, 3/4 path mages.  But they don't give you new paths. |

Re: Question about path boosters.

No.
Be wary of the robe, though. The wearer gets eaten pretty soon, so don't put one on a pretender unless you really need to. |

Unless your pretender is one very tough fellow - or just plain lucky
You wouldn't believe how many of my mages ended up with a horror mark in the first game in which I made a Robe of the Magi, as I passed it around a group of mages for forging-boost purposes for a couple of turns before noticing those nice marks left behind

Minor niggle: Wishing for "Magic Power" (I think) gives you permanent +1 in all magic paths, except holy/unholy.

Re: Question about path boosters.
Hi,
The ONLY item that boosts all magic paths is the Robe of the Magi. The Ring of Wizardry only boosts the elemental paths. Which begs the question of why it costs 80 pearls when the similar Ring of Sorcery only costs 40. It also requires one more in Astral.
Ciao,
V'ger gone

I believe you are mistaken about this. The Wizardry ring boosts all non-holy paths, while the Sorcery ring boosts just astral/nature/death/blood.
