I'm trying to recall them all. I think I've probably missed half of the existing skills.

oh, the ambiguity

Coming next, Mysticism.

The Mystic! The coloured band connects a mystic to his target, healing them. Healing has no penalty on your own defence, however, it diminishes your accuracy and limits you to light, one-handed weaponry. You do not have to be aligned with your target, just within an area of. Should the distance become too great, or there's an obstruction, the contact is broken.

Next, the shaman (one who practices Zoanthropy).

About sorcerer...make it a lot clearer that she isn't using combat...honestly i thought she was levitating a scroll with a battle spell on it... make her be turning something into gold

... the sorcerer is turning a rod into gold.

I added some stars lol, donno what else to do.

... when it updates.

Recoloured.

Spoiler:

The Shaman.

actually show that he was human! ther is no indication this isn't a chubby werewolf

Despite that he is obviously half-bear and not half-wolf. I'll see what adding skin-tones does.

Improvement?

zomg yes...!

Awesome...

Thanks

oooh

My main goal for the summoning one was to include the pouch... and I couldn't think of any other way the pouch is actually involved.

that is how it works...if I'm correct you use the obelisk etc to lure the spirit into the pouch...

Oh... lol.

Which skill next?

Conjurer...one who conjures armour and weaponry...that was what the skill was right?

^ Agreed

hmmmmm....

I guess I should refrain from conjuring spells, however I do have a few conjuring spells I made for the spellbook I am designing for the Axar series...

Depends what you are conjuring... the Conjuring skill combines pottery spinning with Magic. *throws wind energy into the lectern and uses a series of hand motions to shape it*

If it's something that could be considers Sorcery - like enchantment, alchemy and teleportation - then put it there.

well, my spells do more with summoning than magic based off of your criteria.. Lol..

You can summon multiple Poppet spirits, however they require high magic levels, and you can control them to do what you want with them rather than having a single set of tasks that are assigned to them upon summoning.

EDIT: That is basically the general idea; right now that is all I have so far. I'll elaborate it further, and they might be another familiar, but oh well.

Lol... sounds like Summoning entirely.

Well... with a hint of Necromancy. Since puppetry is an element of our fictional Necromancy skill.

Yeah...I liked our idea for necromancy...would be funny if we ended up with people standing in banks surrounded by like 4 fletching corpses...
