Houses
The Weavers × The Weavers cast their spells using somatic (motions) and/or verbal components. They may also use material components for their castings. Many of them are bound to their spellbooks, needing them to cast even the simplest of spells, though some have memorized their spells and merely use a focus of some kind such as a wand, staff, gemstone, rune or weapon.
The Divine × The Divine spellcasters are given their energy by a divine source, either holy or unholy. These include clerics, druids, holy knights, etc.
The Elementalists × Elementalists draw their power from the elements, often focusing on one element of choice. Air, Water, Fire and Earth are the basic elements, but Shadow, Ice, Lightning, Time and other types of quasi-elements can be chosen as well.
The Psions × Psions drawn their power from their own minds. They merely have to think of a spell they've learned, and it will come to pass.
The Shapers × Shapers draw their spellcasting power from soul energy, sometimes referred to as incarnum. Whether they draw from their own souls, or other spirits of the past, present or future, they are able to create 'soulmelds'.
The Grim × The Grim are often the most feared of all the schools and often the most dangerous. Necromancers deal with powers over death, disease and the life force. Summoning and creating creatures of the Undead make up a large part of this school.
The Summoners × Summoners are a special class of magi that focus on bringing creatures or objects from other places through various means such as summoning circles, pacts, and rituals.
