Specialisation

Summary

A Specialisation is a more specialised class which determines what schools of spells/abilities are available. Specialisations are bought with points.

There are two tiers of specialisation for each class.

Mage Specialisations

Tier 1

There are three tier 1 specialisations available to a mage. They are:

1. Sorcerer - A sorcerer is a mage who works with more advanced arcane magyk, focusing on self-fuelled magyk rather than environmental or divine magyks. 
2. Druid - A druid is a mage who focuses on drawing power from nature.
3. Priest - A priest, in this use of the word, is a mage who draws power from a divine source, usually a god or spirit.

To each Tier 1 specialisation, there are three tier 2 specialisations. They are:

Sorcerer Specialisations

The tier 2 specialisations available to a sorcerer are:
