Editing Macchiato Monsters: The Stygian Library (section)

====Schools of Magic====
The alternative spell lists we're using have 12 schools of magic available, each with 8 spells. They can all be taken at any level, most of them scale up at higher levels. 90% of them are flavorful utility effects rather than direct HP damage (or healing), but there are some of those, too. 

Here's what's in Wonder & Wickedness:

*'''Diabolism''' summons, binds, and protects against demons.
*'''Necromancy''' deals with death, souls, and summoning ghosts.
*'''Spiritualism''' affects other magic in the world and turns you ethereal.
*'''Elementalism''' manipulates rock, fire, air, and water. (It won't be very useful indoors in the Library.)
*'''Psychomancy''' is mesmerism and mental effects, including classics like Sleep and Charm Person.
*'''Translocation''' opens portals, recalls, and subtler spatial effects. (It has some restrictions in the Library, such as that you can't teleport directly out, but it's still useful.)
*'''Vivimancy''' boosts and transforms living things, including people.

Marvels & Malisons adds some really fun ones:

*'''Arachnomorphosis''' grants spider traits, and control over spiders, too.
*'''Cunning Craft''' is a wide open grab bag of Celtic witchy effects: shillelagh, healing, wolf summoning... (It won't be as useful indoors in the Library.)
*'''Apotropaism''' wards against magic and protects against undead/demons/spirits in a holy-flavored way.
*'''Physiurgy''' directly heals and restores in various ways.
*'''Rope Tricks''' animates and commands ropes. (I love all of these.)

Anyone who can cast spells also can use an effect called Maleficence, which is a little magical attack.
