WHEW! Caught up on most of the reading.Hanged... I want to make a faculty member, but not a teacher. I would actually like to make a "guidance counselor" of sorts. His role would be to mingle with the students and help them with whatever they need. Be it just talking, if they are looking for something specific and/or have requests, if they need extra help with classes... Like a "big brother". The benefit is I would get to interact with EVERYONE quite easily. Also, if you ever need to, the character could have special tasks appointed by the headmaster. I could chaperone the students into town... ANYWHO! I think I've explained it enough.As for his abilities... My idea is to have a character with ridiculous theoretical knowledge, but little interest in the practical field. Most students would view him as mundane, but the wisest would understand that his power lies in subtle manipulations of energy. That being said, I would like his main field to be manipulation of already "active" spells. Dispelling, amplification, modification... His understanding of underlying magical principals allow him to subtlely influence the world around him, to an extent you deem reasonable. The idea is to have his powers fit with his "supportive" position at the school. When I thought about how to tie this in to the magic system in place my first idea was to call it a "passive form of Akasha-Deviancy". Although it is a ridiculously difficult branch of magic, as you have stated, it seemed more reasonable than saying "well he read and memorized every book on earth". He is by no means omniscient or omnipotent. He can simply see/sense/feel/whateveryouwanttocallit magical energies' structure and influence it. Anywhoooooooo! I'm working on the CS. I will have it posted shortly. I really hope you like the idea. If you need reassurance concerning my intended powers, please comment/ask questions. However, I think that by keeping his passive/supportive I've done enough to keep it fair.

I like the character, but I really can't accept the Akasha-Deviancy part. I get what his ability is, but a change in name is appropriate here. Akasha-Deviancy, no-matter what level by the way, is in essence reality warping, so for your character to have that is kind of difficult to understand :(
