Thanks for the comments, Wyvern76! Let me see if I can help.

I'm referring to the fact that a game involving a composite of fairy tales is going to derive most of its "setting" from the fairy tales the group seeks to emulate. There is a setting, I briefly discuss it, but I find a detailed setting to be completely unnecessary here.

I was going to point out that there's no such word as tragical, but dictionary.com proved me wrong. However, I don't think they qualify as the "most common form of older fairy tales." I've read most of the original Grimms' fairy tales, and I think I'd categorize most of them as being "Harsh But Fair", whereas "Tragical" sounds more like the type of story Hans Christian Andersen wrote.

Neat!

Can you give us some idea of what they're like?

I wont, but someone else might be up for it. They're simple and flavorful, about what you'd expect from a page of description.

Cute. Did you get the reference?

I don't understand, so I expect not.

Is there a mechanical difference between lowering the difficulty and rasing the roll? For example, does a higher roll equate to a better success?

I want to say that if a character succeeds by a wide margin they may gain a bonus, but otherwise no. Certainly in a contest with another character you want to succeed by as much as possible in order to decrease your opponent's abilities.

If the character what?

Fails. Sorry, that one missed the editing check. Sometimes dice will be rolled even if the character stands to suffer no big negative if they fail.

If "Magic Star Quality" is a descriptor attached to other qualities, how would you create a generic "magician" character?

I'd buy Wizard*, Witch*, Magician*, or something similar at +4 or +6.

Btw, I noticed that your font kept switching back and forth from Times to Arial, which was a bit distracting. Is there a reason for that?

I went back and checked. The text I submitted is Times New Roman all the way through. It looks fine on my screen. The Examples use Italicized text to distinguish them from the body of the review.
