So the Lore Team has a relatively minimal announcement for everyone! An alteration to the layout of Archtypes, and Subtypes amongst the Arcane magics!
Most of this alteration is simply slamming the Subtypes into three sections, Alteration, Evocation and Illusion. Most of this is all the same, except for the Evocation section, which now has Elemental Evocation, Arcanism and Conjuration!
Alteration:
Transfiguration
Telekinesis
Translocation
Evocation:
Elemental Evocation
Arcanism
Conjuration
Illusion:
Sensory Illusion
Mental Magic
Cognitism
Elemental Evocation still holds all of the elements currently present in lore, aside from arcane shielding, and arcane evocation; which now moved into Arcanism. Lastly, Conjuration is exactly the same, and has not received any alterations.
The reason for this change is quite simple- simplicity, coherency, and because it made sense! To be clear, the different elements in Elemental Evocation must still be learned individually, and arcane evocation/shielding are still separate magics, and must be learned separately. So aside from categorization and names, not much has changed! The Wiki has also been updated to fit these changes: http://wiki.lordofthecraft.net/Arcane+Magic If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
