For each of the second, third and fourth editions of "Earthdawn", FASA published an updated "Companion" book.
Reception.
In the October 1994 edition of "Dragon" (Issue #210), Rick Swan did question the addition of even more content for the already complex game magic, pointing out that "the last thing the convoluted magic system needed was more rules." But overall, Swan thought the book was "a must for hardcore "Earthdawn" gamers."
