Changing Schools

I have a question that hopefully someone answers soon but my question is that my cousin took the quiz and she got storm school but it switched her school to fire. She is wondering if kingsele could switch her school to storm at all? Hopefully someone has an answer for her and me! Also, because she is low in health and she is level 18! She has bought clothes but she tries to buy storm clothes but she is still low. SO i am hoping you can do something about that! Thanks!

You can't change schools. She can start over as a new storm wizard on the same account and move any of the gear over to her new storm wizard through the shared bank though. Every account allows 6 wizards.

Unfortunately, the only way is to create a new wizard. Don't be too worried about low health, because no matter which school you choose, there's going to be a negative. Sure storm has low health, but they can attack the most. Hope this helped!

If you were able to change schools, that would be like saying an Ice changing into a high-damaging Storm for a few quests. Or, a Storm changing into a Life for one battle just to heal itself. At higher levels you will be able to train Polymorph spells in Celestia. However, this is really far-fetched, and I suggest you make a new wizard. I tried to make a Fire, but it turned into my now level 33 Balance. And I liked the change after a while, because it gave me a new experience. It also stayed at the #2 Highest Level Wizard on my account for quite a while until I began work on my Storm. So you should probably make the most of Fire, and Fire gets pretty powerful. At level 28, you will train the Heck Hound spell. At 14 pips, this thing is a beast on wheels. It will do almost 2000 damage over time to your opponent with a single Balance Blade, which boosts only +25%. Fire is deadly powerful. And those pesky shield-spammers don't have a chance. You can just simply Scald or something and break their shield and they get the full effect shortly afterward. The only con on this, though, is that you can counter with a heal over time spell. However, my life wizard is only level 13, so I am not currently aware of a spell that can counter a pretty big-shot spell like a 10-14 pip Heck Hound. In Marleybone there is no shortage of shield-spammers, so have your DoT's ready!

Hello,

Changing a character's school is not something that we would do. Your friend would need to create a new character.

Best of luck!

If you end up getting the school that you don't want from the book there is the option of just picking the school you want out of the seven

Skip the test and just chose the school you want. Or if you take the test, at the end it makes the suggestion but there's a button below that says Choose Different School.

You can do it while still in the test, but not after you complete it and start the game.

Thank you everyone and Professer Greyrose but she took the test and it said that she was school of storm which what she wanted but then when she started playing and everything it switched her to fire and she really would like to switch without creating a new character. I dont know if it was a glitch but we really wish it could be changed. KI can you like go in her account and change it somehow? Hopefully someone can switch her account! Thanks for the answers everyone!

As I said above, no we can't change a character's school. Your friend will need to create a new wizard.

I've seen that the other answers affect what gems you can choose. The gem defines your school.

What I meant was that after all the other questions you are given a couple of gems to choose from, which will in turn decide your school

Yes she'll have to start over on XP. Houses can't be transferred, but pets, mounts, housing items and most gear can be.
