I've been reading through some older threads so I think I have the grasp on the basics of it all, but there's a few things that I'm not really certain of, or just think could be interesting for potential character ideas. Â
1.Â
So if Scholar tomes are different, and contain more text and strategy rather than the symbols required to cast certain spells, how do they actually go about casting spells... Do their tomes contain all the same symbols that they require PLUS the text, or is there something I'm missing there?
Bonus question, what exactly do those strategies/text talk about specifically?
2.Â
Would it be possible to turn their book itself into a sort of familiar, I'm not really sure on the extent of what they would want to do with it, but I was thinking perhaps something along the lines of having the book try and stay where it needs to be e.g floating instead of needing to be held, or returning to it's owner if it was dropped or knocked away or even just turning to certain pages.Â
3.
Going back to the symbols required, a lot of people ask if they could cast from memory of the shapes, but what from what I understand it's about the ink used as well, so about if they just had certain spells in tattoo form, or say somehow inscribed or drawn onto the top of rings or other jewellery, I know it wouldn't be an easy thing to create, but it wouldn't be impossible, right? Â
4.
Lastly just more of a general question which often holds my creativity back, but what is the extent of the type of magic they can produce. Are all the spells tied to a specific school of magic (As the in game spells all seem to be about damage over time spells and such) Would they be able to produce fire or other kind of elemental spells that a thaumaturge could do?
Thank youÂ
