It very much is up to the roleplayer and especially the thread-starter. I'm going to change the Article system around a little bit to have the OFFICIAL documentation (i.e. a guide on how to use RPGuild or a guide on how to RP) and then an UNOFFICIAL, USER-SUBMITTED section that will be more opinionated and particular.

For instance, this is definitely not the only way to roleplay magic, by ANY means. However, I think these opinionated articles still have some value because they may be able to fuel someone's imagination -- maybe give someone a different perspective or insight on magic and perhaps could give them ideas to modify their own usage of magic. I definitely want to make it clear that this isn't endorsed by RPGuild as THE way to RP magic, though. I don't want a new RPer wandering in here and getting pigeon-holed because he thought this was some strict RPGuild document.
