In real life the closest thing we have to schools of magic are branches of religion. Catholicism and Protestantism are fundamentally the same religion, same god, same book...different interpretations. So an Evoker and a Conjurer get the same effect through different methodologies. The conjurer summons stone from the surrounding area. The Evoker summons earth energy from the plane of elemental earth to create the wall.Of course that thinking would mean a whole reworking at the spell lists.Get an Evoker and a Conjurer in a pub talking about this stuff, you'll get a 'heated debate' alright. Both walls of stone do the exact same job, but whereas the One wall uses local materials the other may be more 'perfect' looking but not necessarily matching. The merits of each can be debated by sages for years.Maybe I'll get some time to go through the spell lists one day!</blockquote>
