COLLEGES OF MAGIC
This is just something I was writing notes on in a break period between lessons. I typed it up exactly as I wrote it, so it's still sort of in note form :]
Anyway, it's my thoughts on the subject of the Imperial Colleges in Warhammer - basically the Empire has all kinds of magic available - too many schools to fit on the recruit screen, so I've decided to give them a completely new magic system based on summons.
---------------------------------------------
Schools
Fire - Bright - F+ - Evocation
Wizard - Higher precision, lower research
Lord - Strong fire shield
Metal - Gold - E (F) - Alteration and construction
Wizard - Alchemy (?), higher upkeep
Lord - Forgebonus
Shadow - Grey - AD - Enchantment, alteration
Wizard - Stealthy
Lord - Flight, spy
Beasts - Amber - N+ - Conjuration
Wizard - Forest survival, shapechange to wolf
Lord - Shapechange to giant bear, useful summon allies ability in this form
Heavens - Celestial - Equal AS - Evocation and thaum
Wizard - Research bonus, prevent bad events
Lord - Better bonuses
Light - Light - FS - Alteration and Evocation
Wizard - Heal?
Lord - Better heal?
Life - Jade - N EWA - Alteration, Evocation
Wizard - Decrease unrest? Heal?
Lord - Better versions of above?
Death - Amethyst - D (W) - Alteration, Enchantment
Wizard - Drain life attack
Lord - ?
Each school will have 2 summons available - one for a standard Wizard such as "Bright Wizard" and one for a college lord, "Bright Wizard Lord". The standard wizards will basically be 2 in one path then have some kind of secondary path, or a chance at lvl3 in their main path if from a focused school like Bright.
The Wizard Lords will be lvl 3 average, but some lvl 4. They will kick ***, but they will all be old.
The whole thing will be started off by the College Acolyte recruitable which has lvl 1 random in NEFADS.
N1 summons Amber, Jade
F1 summons Bright, Light
A1 summons Grey,
D1 summons Amethyst
S1 summons Celestial
E1 summons Gold
The summons will have to be researched and will be found with one version in each of the schools favoured by the mages, at level 3 and 6 perhaps?
