In the books, there were only a few hundred female casters. And they were held into check by their Codes, and social and political influences. (so they can't just go around using their power as they saw fit) unless the DM just chose to side step the back bone of the game. Yes, dreamwalkers, most of whome were Aes Sedi, and then, they would be held into place by what's already been stated. Wolfbrothers-rare, and the ones that exist, lose themselves with their powers (become too wolf like) and are never seen again, or go mad and die. Yes, Fain, I think he was one of the enemies, touched by the Dark One... so yea, he's EVIL..and not playable. But, unlike DnD. Magic just doesn't happen. It takes a full round to turn on your power, by that time, the fighters already moved in and cut you down. Also, like I've said, unless you don't use the social constraints of the world, the use of magic doesn't run amuck.Now, male casters. Rare, maybe one per story who is a player. Other than that, most should go either insain, or side with the dark one *False Dragons* or be killed or Gentiled by the Aes Sedi. Also, most males who found out what they were, per the makeup of the world, wouldn't jus wish to go showing off who or what they were.And, there are NO magical items: no wands, staffs, rings or w/e. The ones that exist, are considered relics or artifacts even though their powers may not equall those of the same name in DnD. The ability to make more magical items, is lost. So, once again, unless you choose not to use that, which makes the story, the story, then yes, the world might be like DnD.Healing, only a caster can do it, and more than likely its a female. And Aes Sedi arn't just in every town. Now I know, a Wisdom could have the One Power, but not everyone does...*yes, the character from the book did, but that's the excpetion, not the norm.*SO, to recap. If you change the world, and put in what's already been removed and toned down for the setting, then yes, the world could be high magic. But, as it is, it isn't.thanks.</blockquote>
