Re: [3.5E] Hypothetical PHB Reconstruction
Oh god, I was so disappointed at D&D for messing up the spell schools. They felt that Evoker and Transmuter were too powerful because they got a lot of good spells, so they started giving away spells into Conjuration and Abjuration, tossed in a bunch of Necromantic, and made a lot of Divination spells whose spell effects make more sense as Enchantment.
Now not only are they still somewhat unbalanced, there's no way to tell what school a spell is in by its description. Which is just downright lame.
"This spell shoots fire"
Well son that's gotta be Evocation there. Creates a short-duration energy attack. Nope! It's probably Conjuration or Alteration!
(Maybe even Water)
