If you rule that it counts as four sperate spells in the book, I'll change it shortly to the Evil variety.  (1) I know it was a strange choice - but it might help me a bit later... and, more importantly, I just couldn't think of anything else to take. I can't really take Spell Focus in any other school (I mean, come on... he's a diviner, why would he have spell focus in Enchantment or something without taking it in Divination?), and almost every other feat useful to a mage is useless until you have seocnd level spells- eg Improved Counterspell, all Metamagic Feats, etc. On the other hand, I guess I could just take one of those feats so that I don't need to take it later. Oh, the only other feat that caught my eye was Spellcasting Prodigy from FRCS (It means that your intelligence is treated as two points higher than it actually is for the purpose of determining anything to do with spellcasting such as save DCs and Bonus Spells). But then I realised that it was hugely overpowered and I didn't stand a hope in hell of getting it approved. So I stuck with SF: Divination as a character thing. I may still change it, however, to a metamagic feat or maybe Improved Counterspell. (2) Identify always struck me as kind of useless. It takes an age, uses a prepared spell slot, and provides minimal information. You could find out just as much information by swinging the thing at a few goblins (or letting the goblins swing a few things at it). Still, I'll go look over it again. I have to admit, in my PnP group we've pretty much written it off as a loser's spell, but I'll go look over it again and see if I can find value in it. (3) I'll put it up when I've got these issues sorted, if you don't mind. I just posted it up here for approval and bug testing.  So, other than those rules issues, do you like the character? Is he going to fit in do you think?</blockquote>
