They are powerful shape-shifters, but also possess other powers. The general consensus in the [[fan community]] seems to be that the rules for gruagachan in ''Lion of the North'' (which were written for [[ArM3]]) are over-powered, but fortunately the tradition has been revised and expanded in [[Hedge Magic Revised Edition]] (pages 55-78). == Covenants Three covenants are described: * [[Horsingas]] * [[Crun Clach]] * [[Mac Gruagach]] = Community Reviews ; The following reviews were collected from the original Ars Magica FAQ site: No community reviews are available yet.
