[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3943019, member: 22779"] So, conjuration channels positive energy? So, why isn't it evocation? Evocation is all about channeling energy, not conjuration. And, even if the wiki is 100% correct, and conjuration can be used to channel energy, then why do we have evocation at all? Never mind that, for some bizarre reason, neither conjuration nor evocation can be used to channel negative energy - that's for necromancy which doesn't deal with channeling energy at all. :uhoh: Also, we have a nice clear place where flavor is locked tight to the mechanics. Rock hard locked. You want to heal - cast conjuration. You want to harm - cast necromancy. Usually. Unless you don't. What if my cosmology doesn't have positive and negative material planes? Never mind the gnashing of teeth that goes on in tying the negative material plane to evil and positive to good. Meepo - how is that any different than clerics? In my world, war clerics worship Chernobyl and use dire flails, for example. Would people confuse them for clerics of Hextor? [/QUOTE]
