The art of altering the physical properties of creatures, objects, or the environment itself.

There are whispers among Hedge Mages that there are other schools of magic that can be tapped into, but these eight are the most common.

Sometimes, one school will not have the exact scope you are looking for in your spell. In those cases, your GM may allow you to combine effects from multiple schools. In these cases, you will roll against the lowest of the schools to determine success.
