Magic lantern theater, also known as a magic lantern show or a phantasmagoria, was a popular form of entertainment in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was a precursor to modern cinema and involved the use of a magic lantern, a device that projected hand-painted or photographic slides onto a screen. The magic lantern itself was an early type of image projector that used a light source, such as a candle or oil lamp, to project an image onto a translucent screen. The image was created by placing a slide with a hand-painted or photographic image inside the lantern and illuminating it with the light source. The projected image could be enlarged or reduced in size by moving the slide closer to or further away from the light source. Magic lantern shows were typically performed by a showman who would narrate the story depicted in the images and manipulate the slides to create various effects.
Too much balance can negatively affect flavour. Not everything has to be exactly equal; it's more important to be playable and fun.
I haven t read these kobold press options, so I don t know how balanced they are, but I feel like sometimes the perfect balance isn t desirable argument gets used to defend things that are seriously in need of a balance adjustment.

Magic lantern shows were typically performed by a showman who would narrate the story depicted in the images and manipulate the slides to create various effects. Some showmen used multiple lanterns to create a sense of movement by projecting different images in quick succession. They also used accessories such as colored filters, mechanical slides, and movable figures to enhance the visual effects.
I reviewed all 700 spells in Kobold Press’s Deep Magic Book
The point of the document is not for people to read through it all (that would be as insane as writing it) but rather if you do buy this book, and are looking to approve a specific spell, this may give you some idea of any problems the spell currently has.
I also point out some of the great spells in the book as well. You can find them labelled as (GREAT)
I guess if I had to summarize my findings I’d say that this book’s spells are filled with a mix of proofreading and balance problems.
- Either ignoring or just not understanding 5th edition mechanics.
- It has a lot of spells with unclear or vague text.
- The spells are not balanced for their level
- There are at least 140 spells that to me are clearly underpowered or clearly overpowered for their level (and not by a little)
- There are another 83 spells that are on the edge of being called either of these.
But there are other issues with it’s spells as well.
- There is an over-reliance on referencing other spells in order to explain a spell’s effects.
- Too often you need the creature statblocks in one of Kobold Press’s other products to use these spells
- Though this is somewhat mitigated by the statblocks being open license, since you can find websites that provide them. They should still have been provided in this book.
- The 1st level spell Mosquito Bane, for instance, lets you kill any insects (with less than 25 hp) within 50 feet of you without them even getting a chance to save against it.
The quality of the subclasses is much better than the spells. But they can be generic at times.
The formatting also needs work as well. About 50 pages worth of actual content gets thrown into an appendix for some reason (including subclasses, spells, and other features).
- They introduce new spell schools but then don’t treat the subclasses and spells in these schools consistently (some subclasses or spells end up in their associated school’s section, while others get thrown into another section of the book)
That isn’t to say it is all bad news. I think there is great content in the book. It just gets dragged down by all of this.
Also, a lot of the issues that were present in their past products weren’t addressed. Like many of these proofreading issues were present in the Midgard Heroes Handbook as well as earlier Deep Magic products.
Overall, the product just felt like it needed more time in the oven.

The themes of magic lantern shows varied widely, ranging from educational lectures to dramatic performances and horror shows. One popular type of show was the phantasmagoria, which used special effects to create ghostly apparitions and other supernatural phenomena. These shows often featured illusions, such as projected images that appeared to move or transform, or live actors who interacted with the projected images. Magic lantern theater was a highly visual medium that captivated audiences with its combination of storytelling, visual effects, and live performance. It was a precursor to modern cinema and played an important role in the development of popular entertainment. Despite being overshadowed by technological advancements, the magic lantern remains an important part of the history of visual entertainment..
