Well, he hasn't signed the one regarding biological warfare. >_>

Anyway, yeah, my point was more that it would make sense for the impact of magic to scale with development of civilisations. Not necessarily in a one-to-one scaling, but I reckon it shouldn't be the equivalent of arming Ug with an assault rifle at the start of his history.

Ah, I indeed remembered wrong. It seems a free point would work on a smaller scale, by creating a wand or some sort of magical item to give away.

The Freepoint can be used for relatively low-key things like teaching people a simple idea (e.g. agriculture, reading, writing, loyalty, honour, bronze-working etc.) or creating an item imbued with magical properties[/quote]
