The door to the right came as a relief to Cody, a chance to focus on the task at hand. The dim light provided few details, but if it stayed true to the rest of the place, the door would open into another room. "Poor use of space," Cody said reprovingly. "You'd think they could have been a little more efficient in their design. And bad fung shui as well." He had only a hazy idea of what fung shui was, but everyone always seemed to nod knowingly when someone said that, so he figured he was safe enough.
Wizards, not surprisingly, have the most potential to develop their spellcasting skills. They can become skilled with healing, enchantment and clerical schools. They can become expert with attack, divination, escape and matter spells.
