Your ideas about magic use are very interesting. I thought about different
element magicians (in my Big Five, each magician is something different) but I
like your 8 directions, with opposite sides cancelling.

I started with two schools of magic (Basic and Advanced) but I soon realized
that I wanted the four elements represented so that I could use the big rock
creature from Rock Raiders as an Earth Elemental.  Also, I needed necromancy to
explain where all these skeletons, ghosts, and mummies came to be.  Since I had
a green hat, I had to make rules for druids as well (in my first pass,
'Nature' was broken up into 'Plant' and 'Animal'... that seemed excessive).
Eventually I came up with the idea that each school of magic should have an
opposing school... and soon I had 8 schools.

I LOVE your staff with the yellow bird... (I'll add that to my want list :)

Thanks, now I just need a mummy piece to wield it.

I think your caption for the apprentice picture is supposed to
say 'pyromancer' instead of hydromancer - just a guess...

Yup, that has been corrected.  Now we know which spell the apprentice sorcerer
was studying on his scroll.  He cast _Confuse_ on my while I was typing.

I like HawkLord, I'd love to hear his story!

In the works... I'll keep you all updated.
