[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 8240770, member: 6802951"] Kinda depends on what you mean by combat engineer. A bombardier isn't just a soldier with some magical training. They're a professional spellcaster operating in a battlefield role. As the article Tetrasodium linked states, magewrights take years to master their rituals. That is why lamplighters are a respected profession: They're not just any yahoo with a ladder and a tinderbox; they're a graduate of a Cannith-accredited trade school. Eberron hasn't directly answered the question of whether everyone can learn magic. However, it is very clear than PC-type magic is very rare. A magewright will probably spend a few years learning to cast one or two spells as a ritual for example. - They don't have spell slots as such. Likewise cantrips are actually a fairly recent development, and many nations have been able to train up small units of Wandslingers. - But they can't cast spells without their focus wands. While magewrights mean that many more people in Eberron have access to magic, actual PC classes are really rare. [/QUOTE]
