| Wu Jen | |
| A staple of some Oriental Adventures flavored settings, the Wu Jen works Magic by creating "scrolls" bearing a mystic Symbol good for one use. In addition to their Magical skills, Wu Jen are also capable hand to hand fighters, able to defend themselves with bare knuckles if need be. | |
| Wu Jen are fun to play, being capable and self reliant. Even in campaigns without an Oriental flavor this basic idea can be morphed into something more apporpriate to the setting at a cosmetic level. | |

| Scribner | |
| The Scribas Magic System is detailed here. | |
| Scribners learn Symbols, which they can then draw upon cloth, paper, or skin. They use these Symbols to make powerful but temporary static effects. Scribners do not alter the surface of the object they place a Symbol on; they merely draw, dye, or paint a Magical Symbol on the surface with Ink. The Symbols can be quite colorful and complex, limited only by the Scribner's skill with Calligraphy. | |
| Scribas can be used to model several disparate concepts, such as a Wu Jen style character that must write a "scroll" on the fly to cast a spell, or a character that can draw Magic into being, or in some campaigns even a sort of Fantasy "tagger" that works Magic via Graffiti. | |
