Wildmage

How can one study magic? To view magic as operating within rules it to view magic as having limits. The wildmage seeks beyond the paltry boundaries imposed by classical learning, viewing magic as an art rather than a science. Hence the wildmage experiments with the unknown, constantly creating. At times, this is wildly successful, producing effects of great power. And of course, at other times, the wildmage may call down adverse terrors upon himself. One famous wildmage once said, ‘Remember when your big brother whacked you with your own hand and chanted ‘Stop hitting yourself!’? That is what it is to be a wildmage.’

-Eronius, Guildmaster of the Wildmages
