I think I threw it in here because, IIRC, the way it's described in the PHB is more like you are affecting forces that then heat the metal. And Dig might be a conjuration, as you're conjuring a force that then digs a hole. There's obviously a lot of gray area in the classification business.Timrod https://www.blogger.com/profile/15308269015770538709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267677579874715622.post-67721659958777655382011-09-20T09:59:19.436-07:002011-09-20T09:59:19.436-07:00FWIW, the DMG does provide a minimal explanation a...FWIW, the DMG does provide a minimal explanation about the use of schools of magic in the MU spell notes for Detect Magic. <br /><br />IIRC, there was a few good articles in Dragon and Polyhedron about the various spell schools, including one that rounded out the Possession school (in "Dominion Spells" by Jon Pickens in Polyhedron #27 ) and Charles Olsen's "The Many Types Of Magic" in Dragon #89. Might be worth checking out.grodoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11800184312511280050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267677579874715622.post-14126077655424843322011-09-20T06:07:36.897-07:002011-09-20T06:07:36.897-07:00One of the AD&D 2e books suggested a sub-schoo...One of the AD&D 2e books suggested a sub-school named 'apportation', for what you're calling peregrination.Gavin Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362875699031245377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267677579874715622.post-29202005407975911772011-09-20T00:02:11.450-07:002011-09-20T00:02:11.450-07:00I have no problem with Peregrinations.
