[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 9142198, member: 87792"] He's a priest, therefore invested. Because of the filtering involved. Get used to disappointment. Why at most? Filtering through church and more standardised deals with some of the rough edges. And an oak is genetically more similar to a dandelion than a redwood. You're changing tack now the actual fluff was pointed out. And wizard magic is part of them - rather than given by an outside like warlocks or clerics, or being primal. All study changes is how they made it part of them. But literally none of your questions are practical. The practical questions are the what. The questions you are asking are theoretical whys. You mean like biology taxonomy in the real world. Where fish are incoherent? What you are representing is a window into a world more complex than one person can imagine. The practical questions are answered by the mechanics. No they don't. An innately magical being is one that actively needs to use their own energy which means that they recharge slowly. Fast recharging magic and always on magical powers represent a connection to a power source that is far [I]far[/I] bigger than the one person can ever have which is why it refills so fast. It's like drinking from a firehose. Which is why you make the wizard a subclass which has a scroll as its big thing. [/QUOTE]
