So - as the poll question says - if you could have another specialized spellcaster in the game, what school of magic would you like them to use? And yes, I am well aware I did not list all schools of magic, as the others didn't really suit the NPC's background and personality.

Bear in mind said NPC may be duel or multiclass, yeah? *Is all enigmatic like*

Evoking.

It's just the best school.

Necromancy allows for more neato personality quirks, though I've already said my opinion on the matter. :)

Other.
I'd like an Abjurer or an Enchanter. Preferably an Abjurer.

PS: What's the difference between Evocation and Invocation? They are one school.

Necromancer. That kind of a NPC would have nicely lunatic behaviour and the best jokes...

Evocation, then. There is something to be said about pure, raw, destruction. I'd love a CE Evoker.
Sorta like a true EVIL Edwin. Mwahahaha!!!!

Just for the record, the spell schools are Evocation/Invocation, Alteration, Enchantment/Charm, Illusion/Phantasm, Abjuration, Necromany, Conjuration and Divination.

I'd also like to clarify that the NPC's magical school will in no way influence the character's personality. It's more of a tactical thing - However. I believe that Necromancy and Transmutation are best suited to the character's backstory.

I voted Transy. I'd like to change a few things about this planet. And that planet.

Looking at the results, I see no one hates Jan around here...or at least not enough to change their class.

Right - teh choice has been made. A Necromancer, the NPC will be. <3 I know Transy was the most popular choice, but I just feel a necromancer suits the NPC's personality more.

Thankyou all for the feedback, chums!
