    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.
