That's another thing. Can anyone use these schools of magic what? How does that work?

Mortals can use Magic, gods rarely due to it having a fraction of a fraction what we are capable of. No doubt someone will try anyway. To recap, it is mainly for Mortal use.

[Vgray]

Speaking of which, I really need a way to control the use of necromancy once it exists.

[hector13]

I think the new system requires mortals to be given an affinity for the magic you want them to use, though you can apply two for free. (KJP may want to correct that if I'm wrong)

Make laws against it. _{So I can break all those laws...}

I was assuming it was the same as affinities in the last game, in that it just makes them a bit better with it and makes it more common.

So could gods make new kinda of magic at any point? Or do we make it now? And can we only make two now?

Kind of, you can, and yes (but you can make more later).

From what I can tell, it is about the same as last game as far as magic goes. You can define new ways of using it (Basically like we are doing now) at any time.

If we can still claim magic schools, here's the one I'm going to claim.

Spoiler: Neuromancy (click to show/hide)

Neuromancy is a school of magic that can only affect the nerves of living creatures. The most common use of Neuromancy is making someone feel pain in a specific area, but more advanced Neuromancers can activate nerves in an area of the body, simulating the touch of a certain object, making them feel different temperatures and making someone immune to pain. The most powerful Neuromancers can even enter someone's brain to read or remove their memories, make them believe stuff more easily and some can even trick the optic nerves of people, showing them nonexistent objects, or removing things from sight. Anything the nerves can do, can be simulated using Neuromancy, but most things take years of practice.

Cool.

...Sounds sort of like something a Kaomancer would be able to do.
((Spelling change to Kaomancy.  Because Discworld reference.  Except not really.))

How so? It appears to me that Kaomancers manipulate small things to cause chain reactions, whilst Neuromancer "trick" the nerves of living creatures.

KJP has edited the second post to be quite massive with information, in case people have not noticed

Wow, that creation bonus is kinda absurdly overpowered  . Six gods teaming up are literally all powerful.

They are both small things.  And they both have big effects.

[Rolepgeek]

So, I kinda want to organize the gods by what their personalities and/or spheres seem to indicate they'll do. It's not so much an alignment system as it is 'maybe feasible pantheon groups' and/or friends. Icytea's analysis in Litany of the Void of how everyone would get along was pretty cool and I'd be interested in seeing it for this, but it's also a lot of work, and it may be he's less able to tell, or doesn't want to for reasons.

In any case.

Never can be entirely sure on these, especially as no one/no god will fit neatly into any category unless it's filled by them alone. Can't be sure who will and won't ally, after all, and the like. Just ideas for how different gods' playstyles might align.

[TheBiggerFish]

Gardeners.  Yep, that fits.   
Also, if that happens, there's a six-person Pantheon.  ...Yikes.

Umm. My magic leans more to evil. I use illusions to confuse and scare people. I an then use delvolgy to steal thoughts and memories. I think I'm more like an evil spy.

You don't use the magic you are outlining now. Mortals do.

[tntey]

Oh okay, still my mortals will pretty much be made to be spies.
