For instance, an abjurer might give up illusion because it's deceptive, while a conjurer might consider it pointless compared to what he can do for real- other examples?

Some poeples brains work differently and they have a nack for one thing but not another. Why shouldn't wizards be the same with spell schools? Not every one is good at everything.

Necromancy must be widely though of as vile and disgusting. I can easily imagine a foppish wizard to dismiss evocation as far too gauche to be worth studying. It could be that an apprentice wizard screws up a transmutation spell and somebody dies as a result; he develops a fear of casting transmutations and never gets over it.
Nani? 12-04-05, 12:21 PM	I have diviner who knows just what Necromancy is due to an experiment during her training. I could see a transmuter, interested in experiments in polymorph type spells. Divining and Illusion are usefu for forcasting/modeling. Enchantment, it helps your target adjust when you turn them into a dog. Abujuration saves you when you screw up. Evocation, not much and it fireball damage the equitment. Conjuration--"I want real bodies, not ideals I summon. Alternately, Necromacy could be anathama. "I'm improving life, not death." Just find a justification that works for your character, whether it's a matter of "talent" or mentality. All the best, Nani?
