Hallo. Help me with this one: in the initial part of the rules, I see "Life fuels spells... Characters pay 2 life per level of the spell cast. So Fireball (3rd level spell) costs 6 life."

But later on, in the "Stuff" section, I see just a couple of pages of spells, and there's no Fireball; also, those spells have no level.

Edit: I'm reading the Italian edition. Ok, so, from what I understand the system is really barebone. Also, here I found additional info:

I see, this is more a "setting book", at its core.

Yep, the Fireball is the typical 3rd level D&D / OSR spell given as an example. All the spells listed in the UVG 2E are power 1 - so level 0.5 (effectively like cantrips).

It is indeed setting + mechanics for travel there. I've been working on the expanded guidebook and the (pretty-much-finished) text is now available: https://www.patreon.com/posts/vastlands-beta-110976074

Hope that helps!
