School of Medicine

The school of Medicine plays an important role when it comes to balancing life and death. While the school of Necromancy focuses on manipulating death and even creating undeath, the School of Medicine focuses on the study of death and how to prevent it. Most who practice this form of magic are doctors, herbalists, and nomads.  Though you can cast some healing magic it will never compare to the power of a cleric, so you will learn how to amplify what spells you do have. Most who look at you will see you as a great physician or a failed cleric but rest assured you have a skill set that is greatly sought after.
