This review is from: The Grimoire: Manual of Practical Thaumaturgy : 2053 (Shadowrun) (Paperback)

Considering Shadowrun has hit many updates since it was first made some may look at this book as tired and old. To be honest that would be short sighted. Considering how much it costs these days and how most of the information is still pretty valid, or at the very least useful, I would say this is a good book to get for any Shadowrun player.

You get an expansion on the rules and spells that were presented in the core rules book. That includes more spells, more totems (for shamans) and most of all more ideas to better round out your character or for gamemasters to fill out their adventures. If you want the full magic picture this book is essential, even if you have the newer books.
