Thanks, Shoug. My first few stabs at this were considerably more complicated, with elaborate prerequisite chains and rank tiers. I got rid of as much In favor of simplicity. A set of talents I did away with dealt with mana gathering to allow wizards to cast possibly spells in desperate situations, but they just felt too complicated for the fast and furious TFT engine. One could certainly divvy up the spell list into related categories and created magical socieities based on those, though that is not the focus of The Illumined Eye, which I see as a splinter group within the Wizard's Guild and thus privy (though not necessarily prioritizing) to the entire spell list.

I did not mention in the opening post, but others are encouraged to share their secret societies.
