The thing about earth, fire, water and air is that they're fundamental elements, in many cultures...on what did you base stars on?! Stars should basically be under the fire element. I don't see the logic in picking this as a magic school, it seems pretty random to me.

This is just pathetic .. no offense  Metalpiss is right, and if there should ever be a new magic school it would probably be based on an element that too ... the last of the five would therefor probably be Aether.

The fifth element should be life, like in the movie with Bruce Willis.

Is it impossible to add new spells without replacing old ones? Or am I missing something here? If theres anyway to add a new magic school IMHO it should be named Arcane or smth like that.

"The Greek Classical Elements (Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Aether) date from pre-Socratic times and persisted throughout the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance, deeply influencing European thought and culture." -Wikipedia.
Should probably give the reason why the fifth should be Aether I suppose ...

1.: These spells suck. 2.: As far as i know there is no way to add new spells without replacing existing ones. So there you have it.

Banish is kinda interesting,but IMO it shuold affect demons,not undead. And the banished unit shouldnt disappear but turn ethereal(more work with creatures though)
