I love the idea of specializing in both Crystal Way and Dark Way. I think combining opposities is very colourful from a RP-perspective, and from a utilitarian standpoint it\'s probably very useful and well rounded.
Is Crystal Way really \"good\" though, and Dark Way really \"evil\"? My character, Shalmaneser, would argue that it\'s what you do with magic that makes it good or evil, but OOC I can see how one type of magic will stear you down a certain kind of path while another type of magic will stear you down a different kind of path.
Anyway, I\'m not going to play a mage character as my main character, but he will have skill in dark way. Not much at first, but I would like to see him become powerful in it eventually, at the cost of non magical skills. Summoning a deamon would be nice.
