[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9226485, member: 7030563"] Not all of the Wizard schools are spell schools. Bladesinger, Scribes, Chronogy, War Magic and Graviturgy are all "generalist" Wizards. Back in my original post I put what I think is a pretty convincing argument for War Magic. Raistlin is factually known as a Wizard who has fought in many wars and battles, fought with and even led armies and even was a Mercenary for a time. The more I read her the more I really think this fits pretty perfectly, both mechanically and thematically. Enchantment is probably my second favorite subclass after Bladesong. I use Hyp Gaze all the time though. It is so powerful. Walk up there do it and if you are successful just back away from the melee churn. If you are unsuccessful misty step out of there. In terms of power HG is more powerful than most 2nd level spells (or any non-concentration combat 2nd level spells), so risking a potential 2nd level slot on misty step to attempt to land HG is worth it generally. Instinctive Charm can be hit or miss, especially since a lot of times it is an ally that is going to take it on the chin. Shield doesn't always work either though and uses a spell slot for the try. Which is more reliable depends heavily on AC. If you are a Plate Mail kind of Wizard; Shield is generally going to be more reliable but if you are using the base 10 plus dex, IC is going to work far more often than Shield. If you are a mage armor guy it is 50-50 and depends on what and how many are attacking you. [/QUOTE]
