[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 7835458, member: 15882"] We had this in a campaign. Our wizard went to the Black Swamp School where they taught Necromancy, possession(enchantment), conjuration and other foul magics. He didn't need to pay anything because he was too poor so he was indentured. The school owned him until he 'paid them back'. At a higher level, the school gave us a hireling who was indentured to them until death because his family was in debt to the school. He was assigned to us because they wanted him to spy on our wizard friend. A bodak killed the poor hireling. We liked him so much that we raised him, which ended the contract to the Black Swamp School and made him a loyal ally. There was an illusion school taught by gnomes and the 'poor man's school' which only taught spells up to 3rd level and it was mostly magic that would help on a farms or common tasks (dig, prestidigation, etc..) All the best wizard and richest wizards went to the White school(the King's Vizier was a White School Mage) which taught evocation, abjuration and divination. They were all snobs though... Note: the names of the schools were cooler but I forget them since it's been 20 years since I played that campaign [/QUOTE]
