The sidebar in the Mythos Spells chapter refers to an optional rule in which you gain the Passion of "Power at Any Cost with a rating of +10."
Similarly, in the Mythos Tomes chapter, it says each tome provides a Dreadful Insight with a bonus. One example is "Insatiable Curiosity (+15)."
Neither the Passion Rating nor the Dreadful Insight bonus are defined anywhere in the book. My best guess is that the +5 you're supposed to roll when following a Passion / Dreadful Insight, as described in Chapter 1, is replaced with this rating / bonus, but nothing I have read clearly indicates this.
This lack of clarity, combined with the numerous typos, is particularly frustrating considering the price. This book does not feel like it got sufficient editing time.
Yeah I have no idea what the “invoking passion” and that “+10” within mythos option spell rules was about I wish they clarify or give more examples honestly. Following thread to see if anyone else has other perspectives on the ruling
