View Full Version : In theory, could a spell have two subschools?

The title says it all. I'm making up a spell that would fit into both the Healing and Summoning subschools.

I'm having difficulty thinking of a reason why not. If the Player's Handbook II can put some spells in 2 schools, I don't see why you cannot put a spell in 2 subschools. An overarching theory is lacking for why spells are in the schools they are in.

There are some spells which could be assigned to multiple schools. In principle you could come up with arguments to assign almost any spell to all eight schools: since the arguments about which school a spell is in are largely fluff. It just depends upon how creative you are with reality.

So the answer to your question is Yes.

There are spells like that; for instance, Gate is part of both [Calling] and [Creation].
