I mean not bards, rangers, sorcerers, etc. but alternative way for receving and acumulating magical energies for wizards and priests. Something like Player's Option in AD&D 2ed. It was nice - all these channelers, alienists, preservers. Is there any kind of optional rules for magic in AD&D 3.5?

By the way, they dropped the Advanced when it went to 3.0. It's just Dungeons and Dragons now, like it was in the 70's.
