       A wizard who concentrates his effort in a single school of magic
       is called a specialist. There are specialists in each type of
       magic, although some are extremely rare. Not all specialists are
       well-suited to adventuring—the diviner's spells are limited and
       not generally useful in dangerous situations. On the other hand,
       player characters might want to consult an NPC diviner before
       starting an adventure.
       Specialist wizards have advantages and disadvantages when
       compared to mages. Their chance to know spells of their school
       of magic is greatly increased, but the intensive study results
       in a smaller chance to know spells outside their school. The
       number of spells they can cast increases, but they lose the
       ability to cast spells of the school in opposition to their
       specialty (opposite it in the diagram). Their ability to
       research and create new spells within their specialty is
       increased, but the initial selection of spells in their school
       may be quite limited. All in all, players must consider the
       advantages and disadvantages carefully.
