I've had some characters in the past that were very interested in the realm of magic, but always had to be taught by the Mage's Guild (or whatever it's called now) teachers specifically, and getting into that was a rarity all by itself.
So, I bring up this question: Do you really need a teacher to be a magician / mage / battlemage?
I'd love to know, because magic was always an interest I'd love to get a character interested in and RP'ing with.
Thanks!
