Orlessian Magic

The Schools of Magic in Orlessia function as such, schools on one side interact well with each other, schools on the opposite side while still learnable, are not compatible and take extra skill to master if you already know magic from the opposing school. You may choose you Main Magic School and Two Minor Magic Schools. In practice it works like this example:   Your main school is Abjuration, you have no penalties to casting cantrips and spells from this school, but its opposite is Necromancy, and as a direct opposite school of magic will induce a penalty of -3 on cast rolls. If you choose to learn Illusion, casting penalty is only -1. If you learn spells in Divination, as they are compatible with Abjuration magic, you get +1 on cast rolls.
