Message: <blockquote data-quote="Grraf" data-source="post: 290115" data-attributes="member: 3791">Attack of the Day-glo wizardsUmbran kind of hit the nail on the head. I'm more concerned about economic viability.To answer the some of the questions: the Necromancers don't give a rats ass about people coming into their city so long as they don't do anything and leave quickly. They don't like wizards hanging around.Its an Oligarchy IMHO. Its not a Magiocracy. Its a rule by the Seven and their decendants. While Sorcerors are of titanic taint they are probably treated no worse or better than wizards.[edit: because whatever else they are the Necros are educated.]They almost certainly do check every person who comes into the city. In the Scarred Lands magic items are extremely rare so a Necromacer detailed with peremenent detect magic would notice the party.As for a scrying tower in the Underfaust... they do have  the Readers of the Cracked Bones (and entire school) of Necromancers. I don't really know how a scrying tower would mean much though. Putting someone at the gate would be much easier.[edit: The readers are deditcated to divination type necromancy. I suspect they have incorporeal police type forces. Maybe six summoned Shades... ala WarcraftIII which cris-cross the city.]I guess the detect-magic-detecting-people-with-memorized-spells question remains unanswered. While memorized spells aren't spell effects (dispel magic doesn't get rid of your memorized spells when cast upon you) a number of creatures can interact with a wizard's memorized spells including being able to steal them and wizards themselves can use the energy in their spells to do things (Arcane Bolt from R&R). I guess they have to glow then.And all creatures with spell like abilities? Sigh. The party already uses detect magic constantly.I'm not too enthusiastic about color-coding arcane casters though.</blockquote>
