Default Re: One-College Magery and Druidic spells

I think that the problem is that the One College modifier is inappropriate for the given magical system. Hazel is phenomenally useful, especially since it includes Invisibility and nearly every detection spell, so anyone who lacked Hazel would be truly up the creek without a paddle. An individual who specialized Elder would just end up as a minor healer.

Now, I find that Ogham works much better as a form of Syntactic Magic than as a form of standard magic. The fact that each Tree becomes a VH skill means that people casually learning magic would be unlikely, keeping it primarily in the hands of the druids. On occasion though, a spirit would grant amateurs 'use' of the magic though spirit contracts for its own inexplicable reason, which could cause the druids issues.
