AD&D Realms Wizard Traditions?
During the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons era, the Realms were home to a number of unique wizard traditions (or kits, or subclasses, or specializations, whichever you prefer). The book "Wizards and Rogues of the Realms" featured the spellsingers and shadow walkers, whilst the book "Giantcraft" featured the Runecaster, and the book "Cult of the Dragon" featured the School of Incantation - a variant on the Metamagic school from Tome of Magic  whose practitioners are known as Incantatrixes (female), Incantatars (male) or Metamages (gender neutral). Is it worth adding this kind of information to this wiki?Ranime Codexer (talk) 22:42, July 29, 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, of course, especially for the ones that appear in the Realms. We already have a few Zakharan ones on the wiki, such as elemental mage and others in Category:Wizard kits, and kits for other classes in Category:Kits.


 * IIRC, the Runecaster is closer to a cleric than to a mage.

 * I'm afraid that you would be wrong, Sings-With-Spirits. Quoting Giantcraft page 59: "The Runecaster is essentially a subclass of the AD&D Wizard", emphasis mine.--Ranime Codexer (talk) 03:00, August 4, 2019 (UTC)


 * I believe that that is correct, but they tweaked it in 3 edition. ~ Lhynard (talk) 14:08, July 31, 2019 (UTC)


 * The incantatrix actually already has an article, but none of the kits from Wizards and Rogues of the Realms yet does. The "normal" specialist wizards usually redirect to their respective school of magic. Daranios (talk) 15:19, July 31, 2019 (UTC)
