[QUOTE="HeavenShallBurn, post: 3908906, member: 39593"] I kind of specifically pointed out that there WAS argument over what spells belonged where, and that as such the framework still made it easy to move spells from one school to another. Right here The only schools that are not descriptive are abjuration and evocation. Abjuration comes from a root meaning to shun or forsake, while evocation derives from a root meaning 'to call upon.' These aren't very straightforward but of the eight schools they are the only two that aren't. The school names have a rough description of what they do bound right into the name. Conjuration is the act of bringing forth something from nothing and is a fairly good short description of what the school involves, healing for example doesn't really fit within it but wasn't part of it in previous editions. Divination, the act of foretelling or prophecy. Enchantment, to influence the mind or desire. Illusion, to mislead through false impression. Necromancy, death magic. Transmutation, changing the nature of a thing. The basic root structure or definition of the word itself serves as a decent rough outline of what the school does. [/QUOTE]
