Elemental Attack Spells
It looks like there is no space after Elemental.

Counterspells: Example

This means that Jorge must put a total of 11 PP into
his Counterspell.

I suggest to add in this example that 1 PP is needed to scale the range of the counterspell as I thought at first that 11 PP was a mistake (and only 10 PP were needed).

I think that "using character" is not needed here.

Resisting Spells

Since Utility spells are generally benign and helpful, (i.e. Healing
spells) a character’s aura will usually not resist beneficial magic.

I think a comma after the parenthesis would enhance the meaning of the sentence.

[Wapin]

It's not a formatting error, but CP for soft leather armor are inconsistent between table 10.1 "Full sets of armor" p 92 (CP 2) and table 10.3 "Armor by the Piece" p 94 (calculation of the CP for a full set = 3).

Anonymous Spell*

Duration: This is how long the spell lasts. If the duration lists
“xx time/rank,” it means that the spell lasts xx amount of time

Comma before the quotation mark?

SPELLS (Table)
Uppercase for the whole word?

Universal†
Reverse order of Boost Reasoning and Boost Quickness to follow text and alphabetical order.

Counterspell
Needs an asterisk as it is an instantaneous spell.

(Bottom of table)

† = Spells from this Sphere are learnable by any profession.

Not sure the equal signs are needed.
The second line needs to begin with an asterisk and end with a period.

Increase Targets

The space is too large between Increase Animation +10 and +15.
The second part of Increase Target (per each ...) could probably fit on one line, or there should not be any space at the beginning of the line.

Add a space before and after the x to make it clearer.


p. 133

RR should be in bold type.

Elemental Bolt

Shock

Description: Caster causes sudden violent electrical activity
within the target, delivering a Tiny Electricity critical (roll

It happens a lot for element based spells: does the "-20" stands for Tiny?

Stun Cloud & Vacuum
I suppose here that we should understand "roll 1d100-10" and "roll 1d100-20" respectively?

Ridgway is correct.

Oh! Sorry.

I had a question/observation on Mount BMRs:

For example
Table 8.3 - Horse (Light) BMR of 20
Table 13.6 - Horse (Light) BMR of 42
(Same for all the other mounts in those 2 tables.)

Error or is there a reason for the difference?

We missed updating Table 8.3

Correct BMR's are on table 13.6
