Athasian casters could still be specialists, after all - having sorcerers and SK-worshipping templar warlocks is hardly out of keeping, thematically.So when it comes to magic, let's talk about a few ways where the 4e rules worked out as a better implementation than the 2e ones. In the 2e core, "defiling" wasn't a thing that your wizard could choose to do for a burst of power. You were either a defiler, or you were a preserver. In 4e, anyone throwing around arcane abilities can defile for that extra boost - and it will be at a cost. This matches the fiction quite a bit better, IMO.Likewise, items. Enter, Inherent Bonuses and even rules on item breakage.</blockquote>
