I miss the days of wizardinf where you couldn’t pick spells on the opposite side of your circle. It made wizards a bit more in depth? Wizard schools are awesome but it makes wizards a bit over powered on my mind, thoughts? The opposition schools felt like an arbitrary restriction that added very little in the way of theme or flavor.
I think if you want to do a system like that you have to go farther in on restrictions, almost to a rock/paper/scissor degree, but that’s full of design pitfalls.

Hmmmm. Not sure I’m following the Force analogy.
The idea behind specialties was that for extra proficiency in one school, which was optional, you had to give up two others (or one for Diviners). Most wizards weren’t specialists.

With the mechanical shift to subclasses in 5e I feel like the tradition features give that sense of focus without the arbitrary limitation.
This logic is sound and I follow it, and agree with it. With one teeenyyyy tinnnnnny addendum.
Wizards rule sorcerers drool. Nyah!
(This is a joke….kind of. I’m heavily biased) It wouldn’t be bad, particularly, but just look at how people gripe about sorcerer’s smaller spell list.

Ha! You’re entitled to the occasional jab. 😂
