Default Re: [RPM] Magical Styles Thread

I think magewright is a good starter concept, but is a little broad. It is described as a 'protection and upkeep' style, but many of the requirements seem to veer into 'anything a productive citizen would want' category.

The 'any four of ' seems a little excessive, but at the same time, I'm not sure how farming and computer operation fit into the list, particularly with the word 'wright' involved. And the perks seem a little scattered.

I'd like to see this as several styles with tighter focuses.

I've been thinking about magic orders, recently. I was thinking in terms of 'magical traditions' and 'standard rituals', but this is a solid take on it. The various styles I'm considering include:

curse breakers
agriculturalists
healers
Military Mages (emphasis on buffing)

These orders are for an open magic world.
