Blooded vs Unblooded/Mages vs M
Maybe the blooded magician couldn´t find a wizard master and is self
taught.
He has the potential but can´t use it fully because he doesn´t know how -
result:
a blooded magician.
( I have an NPC just like that)

I think my point was that there are reasons why the Illusionist and
Diviner classes
could and should exist as well. I listed a couple of reasons for them
to exist
later in the post. Perhaps they would be similar to the Magician class
(for the
same reasons that the Magician class differs from the Mage class) but
they should be
available to nonblooded characters in the Birthright setting.
