Hi Asher,

Reading through it, it isn't something I would do (indeed, I've been
thinking of expanding my "historical fantasy" games to include a fourth
magical school), but it certainly isn't game-breaking.  You've thought
through the option carefully, and you've kept it fairly balanced.

You may want to think about how you're going to deal (if at all) with
Shaman powers like going discorpereal, having a fetch etc.

Apart from that however, you'll have no trouble.

Let us know how it goes..
