[QUOTE="Meech17, post: 9318553, member: 7044459"] I really like this idea. I do think the Wizarding schools is a neat concept that just doesn't play out. Specialization gives you some benefits, but it should really be expanded. Others have already touched on this, but I think if we're going so far to revamp the wizard, the Sorcerer is getting revamped as well. I've never liked them sharing spell lists. It just complicates things and makes for the age old problem of having to explain the differences to new players. I'd even perhaps consider combining the Sorcerer and Warlock.
