<Snipped quote by Cyclone>
There are two people using a combo of alteration and destruction. Matuna is using combat magic (a fusion of both) and Korthul, the half-orc, is using both alteration and destruction (but not fusing them together, like Matuna).
Counting your bitter middle-aged man, we now have three alterists.
Plus the Prince is an alterist, so now there are four
If it bothers you, I can make the Prince purely telepathic.
I'd appreciate it if you'd all tell me what you were going to do with the alteration, then.
Seeing as he only has one field and three other people share it, I get the feelingf that he's not going to be all that unique. I guess it depends on how strong the others are at alteration. If they don't do advanced things like turn themselves invisible, petrify someone, and do other crazy shenanigans like Crompter's mastery allows, it'd be fine. But I don't think any elaborated on specifically what they do with the alteration and the extent of their abilities.
Anyways, in your description of alteration you mention conjuration and say you'll mention it later but there actually isn't a section for that. If the others turn out to use alteration for the same thing as Crompter, I may just make him a conjurer since that'd fit him equally well.
