Magic Circle

Magic is learned in large fields called Magic Circles. Each Circle is a field of profession inside the arcane arts, specialized in certain aspects of Magic. Many Magicians learn the theories of most Circles when attending studies, but practice very few of them.

Specializations in Circles provide special effects to the spells used.

Miscellaneous Spells and Scrolls
There are spells and spell scrolls that do not fit into any setting of the Circles. These spells can be cast with MAG + Arcana or through other means stated by the GM. This requires to be able to read the scrolls or be able to perform the spells (read: knowing them by heart). There is a skill that (if okay with the GM) an arcane user may learn and that is "Scrolling", which is treated like any other Spellcasting skill.
