[QUOTE="Carnifex, post: 1123369, member: 227"] Sounds good. With time I should be able to put together a more detailed system. Definitely arcane casting only being available as a prc/advanced class is the way to go, but I'm thinking of making certain schools of magic associated with certain lines of physical thought. Eg, a professor of applied alchemy being skilled at transmutation, students in the course of Empirical Manipulation being skilled at evocation (it's taught kinda like maths/physics, very scientific and formulaic form of magic), things like necromancy and enchantment being associated with wierder lines of thought in the science of thaumaturgy, with the knowledge base being expanded by the new discoveries about witchcraft and shamanistic lore due to contact with primitive societies as the Empire expands. Possibly also some feats etc to make it easy for non-spellcasters who pick up some occult lore from various sources to pick up one or two charms or hexes, without being anywhere near as powerful as the Chancellor Thaumaturgical of my new Oxford college :) [/QUOTE]
