Bad guys using spells from other schools...

OK... I read a long eloquent post about how all these mobs are "cheaters" for doing that. You know, a storm baddie using myth spells. Here is my theory. We as wizards have something of a privileged upbringing. These various mobs have not gone to Wizard School. They have just picked up a mish-mash of what they could, where they could. There might be some exceptions to this, but ya know... a little compassion for all those mobs getting constantly beat up by well trained specialist wizarding students... Here I am some hapless troll, or cyclops wandering down the street, probably lost and bam! ! ! "Oh no. Not again!" Jumped by specialist, highly trained wizarding students... I would be looking for whatever spells I could find... Heck I might even resort to you know... Using treasure cards outside my own school...

I agree with you in part. Mobs surviving in the streets are bound to gather up various treasure cards to use in a fight now and then.
But since they have a certain school lable attached to them, it means they have trained enough in a certain school to be proficient at it and should depend on those spells for most of the fight.
Also, all mobs starting with marleybone seem to have access to all the nasty debuffs that are mainly balance specific. Those being weakness and negative accuracy. They also seem to have all the buffs and debuffs available at need and their timing is near perfect when they use them.
I just want the mobs to use the spells their shown to be proficient at for a good part of the fight so i know what to prepare for. Otherwise just have kingsisle remove these labels and each fight could be potluck. Would make for an interesting game and challange but probably wouldnt go over well.
Just remember this game is geared mostly for young kids and if it frustrates me just think what some kids are going through.
