It may or may not have been the spiked elf reading / instructing on version 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 <3

*This thread is over 6k words. For easy of reading, mind the spoilers.* *For anybody wishing to comment "But Fi-magic is the anti-magic, this is unneeded!", abjuration is already present as a spell to negate magic, under transfiguration. Furthermore, counterspell is one ability of the five active ones in the magic submission. As per the submission, it couldn't be even used completely on its own.* Support abjuration! Here's the official banner. Also, first lore submission a magic submission. Big thanks to Lhindir, EdgyMagey for their critique and ideas for the lore, as well as to Fury_Fire for the harsh critique on the first, 1.0 version that shall never be released from shame. Overview: This suggestion is about moving abjuration (but not warding and enchanted wards) from transfiguration into an own school of magic centered around the manipulation of mana in the surroundings, with a spellcasting / usage system different to most other magics, based on available lore and the core principles of voidal magic. This includes current available lore on abjuration as well. The school would retain the original idea of abjuration in the form of one of its spells, with the change that the new counterspell would not simply negate a spell but absorb it for use against its caster. The base idea is a dual system, where the abjurer keeps hopping between two sets of spells, between an attempt to focus on support and endurance or offense and burst. At the same time, it should provide a means of anti-magic other than wards and fi-magic, which is pro-active and weaker than the mentioned two. That's the original principle behind abjuration anyways. The magic would be classified under alteration, arcane magics. But ... why? What's this?

As far as I know druidism is broken down into multiple branches as well, based on use. I think varying the uses of arcanism this much borders the point where it could be broken down into three subschools and an artificiery. EG, item-related (summoned weapons, arcane stones, crystals), protective (shielding, aura sharing) and offensive (projectiles). It would sound cool as a "mastery" though. I never understood why there aren't any masteries for different magics. Instead of becoming a cognitist-transfigurationist-golemsmithing-conjurer-pyromancer to become a combustionary-pyromancer-primodial conjurer. Or, as an alternative, provide masteries based on school-combinations. Like primodial conjuration. Here it'd make sense, if you'd add these side-notes: Greater melding is for those tier 5 arcanists who also mastered circles Familiar binding is for those tier 5 arcanists who also mastered conjuration Arcanist stones and crystal growing is for those tier 5 arcanists who also mastered transfiguration And then you could extend the list: Tier 5 arcanists who are also master evokers may create weapons enchanted with their school of evocation Tier 5 arcanists who are also master illusionists may create shields that disguise anything beneath etc.

Will this count into "another slot" when it comes to the five magics that one may learn? Because if not, I definitely think it's a bit too much for one magic. Compare it to any other form of evocation. This seems like a special arcanist version of circles. This would be a nice addition to conjuration but I can't see why it'd be added to arcanism. Considering what multiple people tell me about conjuration, it'd be far better off with that magic. Unsure how different these would be to transfiguration enchantments. In fact, I'm pretty sure this'd fit high-end transfiguration. People will try growing crystals beneath others. I'm telling you. Other than that ... this sounds nice. But it sounds like something a master of both arcanism and transfiguration would do. I thought these were possible already, one way or another. If not, then good additions!
