[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8674995, member: 58172"] All magic, including arcane, divine, I can probably live with something like that. Take the Warlock mechanics: The high-level spell effects are more like Arcanums. However, the extremely diverse and flexible "Invocations" can be almost any kind of mechanics: ranging from innate magical features to modifying cantrips to almost any kind of spell augment. Certain maneuvers can easily be a kind of Invocation. I agree that Psions should be "thematic" with regard spell selection. (I think every caster should be thematic, especially Wizard!) The way to do this is to reorganize the entire official spell list by "themes", instead of schools, so it would look a bit more like choosing spells for a Cleric domain. One way to balance this is: the highest spell slot available can only be used for the thematic specialization, and only lower slots can be used for nonspecialized themes. This means the most powerful casting will always be thematic. I would divide the entire spell list into the following five themes: • prescience-teleportation-spacetime-astral • telepathy-enchantment-illusion • shapeshifting-healing • telekinesis-force-forceconstruct-fly-ethereal • elemental-earth-water-air-fire-plant [/QUOTE]
