Hence, when they cast spells from those schools, they lose the tight focus on their specialty that gains them their school power. I'll simply cite the Alpha."Wizards may prepare and cast spellsfrom their prohibited schools, but they do not gain thespecialist bonus ability of their chosen school for that dayif they do so.Each arcane school grants a number of school powersdependent upon the level of the wizard. In addition, eacharcane school also grants a specialist bonus power so longas the wizard does not have any spells prepared from hisprohibited schools. See the Spells and Magic chapter formore information."Casting from a scroll is not the same as preparing a spell yourself, as goes for magical items too. And yeah, it is a power-up, and no, I have no idea why, and I'd prefer to see some more substantial prohibitions in place. But since I'm not so bound to 100% compatibility myself, I'll buy it anyway in the end, take what I like, replace what I don't, and call it a day. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Hell, I've started rewriting the Lone Wolf OGL skill section for folded skills this week, I can deal with some houserules for Pathfinder when it comes out. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /></blockquote>
