![]() This is where the idea of Opposed Schools of Magic come from. There was a sub-type of "Magic User" called an "Illusionist" that had access to a slightly different battery of spells, but beyond that the idea of specialization was a non-thing. ![]() In 1E, there were no restrictions on schools of magic. So if the answer would be different between editions, I would ask that an answer points out these differences if it is realistic to do so.īut the standard idea of "Opposed Schools of Magic" only exists in 2E. Note that if this question makes most sense in 3.5e or something, the reason I've tagged it dungeons-and-dragons is because I don't know enough outside of 5e to even know what edition I'm talking about. Have I completely missed the point here, or is there an "official" arrangement of the schools of magic such that specialising in one prohibits its opposite? ![]() Looking online gives me a bunch of contradicting information, ranging from pictures of schools arranged in different orders from one picture to the next (so the opposite of Abjuration in one picture is different from the opposite of Abjuration in the next picture so which one is correct, then?) to forums talking about choosing which schools to be prohibited from, which goes against this notion of there being a fixed arrangement of opposite schools. However, I am only familiar with 5e (which doesn't include this notion of schools of magic opposing each other such that they prohibit learning from another school) and NWN2 (which seems to be arbitrary and fixed for example, specialising in Abjuration prohibits Conjuration, but specialising in Evocation also prohibits Conjuration! How does that make any sense?), so I do not know where to look to learn of the "official" opposing schools. I understand that, in some editions of D&D, there has been this concept of opposing schools of magic, and that specialising in one school may prevent you from learning as another (in the context of wizards, that is).
