Talk:Magic

The article is outdated potentially, with the new ruleset and all.
 * Yep, BUT until someone writes more information WITHOUT removing all the relevant stuff, it's fine. Remember this wiki includes 1st edition, 2nd edition, 3rd edition 3.5 edition and 4th edition stuff. All is relevant. Hurtzbad 10:28, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * is there a reason this is written in past tense? It makes it sound like magic doesn't exist anymore...


 * Most articles on this wiki follow the Forgotten Realms Wiki:Past tense policy, because sooner or later, everything new becomes history. This article has yet to be cleaned up and updated to even post-Spellplague times, and for that I apologize. It's a vast subject and no one has yet found the time or inclination to tackle the job. Feel free to create an account and pitch in wherever your fancy takes you. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 18:42, June 28, 2015 (UTC)

What alternative schools are canon?
2nd edition Player's Option: Spells & Magic presents alternative systems of magic: schools of effect - with their specialists being elementalists, dimensionalists, force mages, mentalists (the magic-user, not the psionicist specialisation, and not the Netheril version), and shadow mages - and schools of thaumaturgy - with their specialists being alchemists (not the craftsmen), artificers (not(?) the gnome/Gond worshiper version), geometers, song mages, and wild mages. Some of these reappear in 3rd edition as prestige classes, or some such. I found elementalists, shadow mages and wild mages in Realms sources. Can anyone shed more light on which of the others are or are not canon? Thanks a lot! Daranios (talk) 20:00, May 3, 2016 (UTC)
