There are many useful accessories floating around the net. This page is intended to provide an index to character sheets, maps, and any other goods an Ars Magica player might be interested in. It includes official documents offered by Atlas Games, useful links and documents unrelated to but useful to ArM, and fan-created materials.

Atlas Games

Atlas offers many downloads for Ars Magica, including

• Several ArM-related graphics can be downloaded from Atlas' site. These include a banner to promote ArM, an alternate banner, and the ArM5 logo.
• The main ArM5 page contains several free downloads, including an empty character sheet, formulae overview, a large scale (poor in detail) map of Mythic Europe, a Shape & Material bonus table by bonus and by shape, a comprehensive Virtues & Flaws index, and the Book of Mundane Beasts giving many animal stats. It also leads to Abilities Worksheet meant to aid character generation, a (core-rules only) spell index by Form or by Technique (ArM5 has one by name), a Certamen Worksheet meant to aid run and keep a record of certamen, and a zip file of Item Sheets meant to aid record magical items. Finally, it holds the example covenant of Semita Errabuna, including its covenfolk, magi, and so on.
• Atlas further offers a core-rules only Virtues & Flaws index, and an alphabetized (core) spells index, a map of the Rhine Tribunal (taken from Guardians of the Forest), an index of The Divine, covenant record sheets for use with Covenants as well as a sample covenant oath, an index of Mystery Cults, and the first chapter (rules structure) of Ancient Magic.

Unofficial Downloads

• A spreadsheet of the magi of the Rhine Tribunal collecting information from Guardians of the Forest.
• A little xls file by JeanMichelle to make covenant calculations easier. It helps you control the number of craftsmen you need to reduce spending.

Relevant Internet Resources

Although not directly related to ArM, you may find the following links useful:

• The Catholic Encyclopedia includes many articles on issues of interest to ArM players and storyguides, such as the entries on the Albigenses, details of the Franciscian order, what a Metropolitan means, the Church's view on Magic, Gnosticism, or the Teutonic Knights. The Catholic prespective is exceedingly suitable as inspiration and background material for the game.
• A good way to obtain covenant and character names is by using a Latin dictionary. A thorough English-Latin online dictionary can be found in the Perseus Project, including quotes from source material in Latin and Greek. A more rudimentary - but for that sometimes useful - English-Latin dictionary can be found here; this dictionary also provides translation into French, Italian, Russian, and some other languages.
• Behind The Names provides names in multiple languages, complete with their meanings. This is an excellent resource for obtaining names in Greek or Latin, names from mythology, and so on.
