[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9134599, member: 23751"] A specialist in a branch of study is not only educated, he's HIGHLY educated. It demonstrates the education that is inherent to the class. I've known some really dumb people with college degrees. ;) Apples and oranges. Apples to apples would be, "You can't play a wizard without a spellbook." Not effectively anyway. That's education! Formal or informal, wizards are highly educated in how magic works. Those don't matter. That's like saying that failed attempts at aviation didn't help advance aviation knowledge. Despite those BBEGs, magic still propelled the Realms forward. "Key advances" =/= modern tech. "Key advances" = the advances used to get whatever setting to the point that it is at. The section is talking about the class and the knowledges that wizards(all of them have). There's a word for wizards who don't learn(aren't educated in) how to cast magic. It's sorcerer. If you are a wizard, you are highly educated, because you had to be highly educated in magic in order to learn how cast it. [/QUOTE]
