i had an idea that kingsisle could put multiple paths on the school you start with. like some other games i have seen like for example if i was fire and i got my lvl 7 spell quest i choose from three different quests one would be more like a defensive type of spell like a shield that was 80 resistance to fire and 30 resistance for everthing else. then there would be a another quest for more of a damage like thing maybe spell that puts a 30 % to fire ward and a 30% to fire trap for one pip. then there would be another quest for a more healing version like take 100 from your self to heal 500 over 3 rounds. once you pick one of three quests at the first school quest you get, lvl 7, you couldn't choose another one unless you do the reset thingy with Mr Lincoln.
there would still be the main spells that both the person who chose that school to start with and a person who chose a different school could learn, and there would still be the same lvl 7 lvl 12 lvl 18 and so on spell quests but you could also, along with the spell you would normally get, get one of the three mentioned above
