ABJURATION
Specialist Name: Abjurer
Description:
Spells of this school focus magical energies to provide protection. This protection can take a number of forms, including warding off specific types of weapons or creatures and discouraging or dispelling enemies. The school also includes a variety of spells involving avoidance and repellence. Abjuration spells concentrate on eliminating or hindering sources of potential harm rather than repairing damage.

ALTERATION
Specialist Name: Transmuter
Description:
Spells of this school enable the caster to channel magical energies to cause a direct and specific change in an existing object, creature, or condition. Alterations can affect a subject's form (polymorph), weight (feather fall), location (teleport), or even his physical well-being (death fog).

CONJURATION/SUMMONING
Specialist Name: Conjurer. A specialist who has learned only summoning spells sometimes calls himself a Summoner, but this is merely a matter of semantics and has no bearing on the specialist's abilities, restrictions, or effectiveness.
Description:
This school includes two different types of magic, though both involve bringing in matter from another place. Conjuration spells produce various forms of non-living matter. Summoning spells entice or compel creatures to come to the caster, as well as allowing the caster to channel forces from other planes. Since the casting techniques and ability requirements are the same for both types of magic, conjuration and summoning are considered two parts of the same school.

ENCHANTMENT/CHARM
Specialist Name: Enchanter
Description:
Similar to the school of conjuration/summoning, this school encompasses two general types of spells. Both types imbue their subjects with magical energy to create specific effects. Charm spells induce changes or influence the behavior of of creatures, usually altering emotional states. Enchantment spells invest non-living objects with magical powers. Neither charm nor enchantment spells have any affect on their subjects physical form.

DIVINATION
Specialist Name: Diviner
Description:
This school involves spells that reveal information that would otherwise remain hidden or secret. Greater divination spells reveal the existence of specific items, creatures, or conditions, as well as information about the past, present, and future. This school also includes spells that contact creatures from other planes of existence, but do not induce direct action from those creatures.

ILLUSION
Specialist Name: Illusionist
Description:
Spells from the school of illusion bend reality to create apparent changes in the environment, in the caster, or in persons or creatures. These spells do not cause real changes as alteration spells do, but instead alter the way that creature and person perceive reality. This school includes both illusion and phantasm spells (the differences are discussed in the spells analysis section).

INVOCATION/EVOCATION
Specialist Name: Invoker
Description:
This school includes two types of spells, both of which use magical energy to create specific effects by bringing forth special forces that the caster shapes into constructs of matter. Evocation spells use the natural magical forces of the planes. Invocation spells call on the intervention of powerful extradimensional beings.

NECROMANCY
Specialist Name: Necromancer
Description:
This powerful school involves spells dealing with death and the dead. These spells drain vitality from living creatures and restore life functions to unliving creatures. Bones, blood, spirits, and apparitions are all associated with the magical energies shaped and controlled by the specialists of this school.
