The Wizardry Magic System is
detailed
here. |
The Maven is
typically a bright, talented, and motivated young Wizard who shows great
promise but focuses on specific aspects of the Wizardly Arts, ignoring
others. This tendency may exasperate their instructors, or perhaps they
aren't choosing to do this so much as a pre-bias on the part of the
instructor is causing their specialized learning pattern. For example, if a
Maven's mentor is an Invoker, then that mentor will likely teach the Maven
much more about Evocation magics and nothing at all about Conjuration. |
Mavens tend
to go with what they are good at as they advance, and can become renowned
masters of a particular type of Magic if they survive into old age. Graduate Wizards sometimes sneer at the Maven's failure to grasp certain aspects of
the Wizardly Arts, but those sneers are often wiped away by a display of the
Maven's mastery of their chosen fields of study. |
NOTE: This is the base package used to build
"Specialist" Wizards. Name the Specialist School Skill as the recipient of
the +2 Bonus and select School Ineptitude for the Schools the Character
cannot use. However, they have the option of not taking the School
Ineptitude Disadvantage and leaving open the option to learn that type of
Magic later. |
