[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9124333, member: 58172"] Re flavors. Something like. The Diviner Wizard (seeing across spacetime and planes) should include teleporting (across spacetime) and planeshifting (across planes). But other Wizard subclasses lack special affinity with planar magic. Perhaps even an Evoker Wizard lacks affinity with the Elemental Planes: affinity with the element but not with plane per se. But the Sorcerer is all about planarity with a specific plane − a specific level of existence − and planeshifting and blending to-and-fro. A Sorcerer is a portal. The Warlock has a personal pact with an individual creature. Moreorless a business deal. This pact transforms the Warlock into a magical creature. By contrast the source of the Cleric magic is the culture − the sacred tradition, the symbols, the contemplations, the rituals. These linguistic (semiotic) cultures have affinity with the Astral thought stuff, and the cohering associations with it. Likewise, the source of the Paladin is the oath, the linguistic formulation. The source of the Druid is primal magic − namely the features of nature are persons with minds who are members of the community of the Druid. They all assist each other mutually in a neighborly way.
