School of Spell Sniping

While some wizards toil away in their dedication to a single school of magic, others obsess over some of the more practical details. "How far away can I boil someone's eyes out?" "How precisely can I target my spells?" "How do I kill that wizard before he kills me?" These are the questions asked by Sniper wizards.

While any caster can dedicate improvement to their spell range, Snipers -- sometimes just "Snipes" -- go further, eking every last foot from a spell's potential, sharpening their aim to become nearly flawless, and painting targets so that their allies can join in the fun. To face off against a Sniper wizard is to personify a bullseye.
