Project Want List[edit]

- A solution to the issue of Alignments and Magic as Virtual doesn't appear to feature Alignments.
Parsing?[edit]
Here's a thought: How about "Parsing" as a replacement for either the "Divination" scool or for the term "scrying"? The latter seems to work better per this definition of the term.

Actually, the Divination school should be renamed Parsing, and the Scrying sub-school should be renamed Scanning.
