" I say it really depends. Arcanima is very much flexible indeed, both for studies, offensive and defensive uses, but I find thaumaturge much more...practical, and more accessible. An arcanist must always keep a cool head, or else the Arcana can go horribly wrong. A Thaumaturge just needs to see something burning and or freezing, and it will burn and or freeze. But then again, that's a biased opinion of someone more versed in Thaumaturgy than in the Arcana. "
She then looks up, grimacing...
"I can't say however that I'm a fan of conjury in any sense of the word, specially the Gridanian conjurers. The thought that your life may depend on the whims of an entity that could possibly care less about you never sat well with me...and of course, personal experiences added to my dislike."
She then finally finishes, looking at Franz
"
And of course, you have the Sharlayan created, Ishgardian aprimorated Astrology. Hopefully, I will live to see it's books. "
