Has anyone ever color-coded the spell schools before? I wanted to make a decent spellbook for my OOC use, and I thought color coding would be sweet. I can imagine that necromancy would be lack, but beyond that I cannot be too certain. Has anyone done this before?

There are several ways to do it.

One way is to go 'against the grain' and start off with Necromancy white. Or better yet red and white (bone and blood).
This is one set like that:

grayish Silver Abjuration
Gold Conjuration
Mirrored silver - Divination
Orange - Enchantment
White and purple- Evocation
Rainbow - Illusion
Red and white - Necromancy
Blue-Green-Yellow fade = Transmutation
Black = Universal (all color)




But, if you want a more 'traditional' feel, this is what I do:

Blue-Abjuration
Green - Conjuration
white - Divination
Orange - Enchantment
Red- Evocation
Rainbow - Illusion
Black - Necromancy
violet Transmutation
Yellow- Universal

Necro-Black and Red
Illusion- Rainbow-ish
Enchantment-Red and Purple (think lust, love, ect)
Abjuration-Black and Navy Blue
Transmutation-Brown and Green
Evocation- Yellow and Orange (fire?)
Conjuration- Black and White, grey?
Divination- Gold
Universal- White (all colors, black is the absence of color :P )

Ah, now that's what I was looking for. The rainbow might be a bit tricky, but it should work fine if I just switch colors for each letter. Actually, on second thought, I'm specializing in Evocation and giving up Illusion and Necromancy. Hehe.
I'm heading out to get the proper gelpens now. Thanks, guys. ^_^
EDIT: On third thought, I should probably use silver or gray for divination. White paper, ya know?

I imagine Illusion being a dark shade of purple.

I imagine Illusion being a dark shade of purple.

I always imagined illusion as a rather spectral aura. Being colorless and semitransparent (and as a result, somewhat hard to see)
