School of the Oracles

From the grandest educational establishments to the dens of tribal shamans, knowledge has always been garnered by those who seek answers to the most unsolvable questions in the world. Those who delve deep into these mysteries in pursuit of answers are known as philosophical savants or most commonly known as Oracles. School of the Oracles wizards will have access to all the spells of their respective level from any other caster class. No magic is unknown to them and no spell is new to them and they can decipher any spell incantation spoken, read or seen. These philosophical savants are seekers of knowledge and the messengers of enlightenment. The life of an Oracle is often defined by an extraordinary revelation or some deeper calling that governs their ethical and doctrinal outlook. Oracles rely on gathering infinite knowledge from all kinds of magic that is in existence. With this vast knowledge they prefer logical resolution to resolve any conflict and they lean towards setting their keen mind to the task  at hand more logically than other factors. Their strong self confidence allows them to leap beyond the bounds of logic that so readily binds other scholars, while allowing them to achieve feats unknown. Through the combined knowledge of the divine and the arcane, Oracles utilize their sheer arcane willpower to learn hidden secrets and theories that have been long forgotten. Wizards who practice or teach this art of magic are very rare and keep their existence as a secret and live normal, simple and mundane lives. They don't want to attract too much attention towards themselves as such a vast knowledge can be used for nefarious reasons.
