Remove conjurations school.
I have been sitting on this opinionated blasphemous idea for a while in fear of discussing it on tavern since its a drastic change that is unlikely to happen and will probably be criticized heavily.
What this would entail:
* Making spells like Fire Bolt, Iron Shot, etc single school.
* The other pure conjurations spells probably removed or reflavored / reschooled.
* Some of the spells may need to be increased a level or weakened (ie 7 instead of 6).
Really the only interesting pure conjurations spell is IOD which could be reflavored or reschooled to e.g. Translocations/Hex or Earth/Fire (it doesn't really matter as I'm sure someone can come up with some creative flavor description).
Now I'll admit that I'm heavily biased. I don't like conjurations as they are basically a mulch always launcher that you have to press 5 to recharge. Also most of the conjurations spells are seriously devoid of creativity. And finally if Mulch Always gets put in for launchers the difference between conjurations becomes less.
I'm hoping a change like this would actually make magic and launchers more popular. Less schools generally requires less XP. Yes this would probably buff launcher like magic but I honestly think those spells need a buff.
