Now that I look at it, the importance of the Soul Seal to a Wizard is indeed extraordinary.
Without a Soul Seal, a Wizard is quite missing a number of Magic Tools.
If there's a powerful Soul Seal, it may even be possible to challenge across ranks...
Ronan's eyes flickered quickly, and he asked, "So how does one choose a Soul Seal?"
"It depends on what Spells you major in, and what kind of combat style you plan to adopt in the future.
Each Wizard's Magic Attributes are built around their own Seal, and the different Magic Schools among Wizards are derived from this..."
No wonder that Advanced Apprentice in the black robe from the Silent Forest detailed the various Magic Schools and their corresponding Seal choices so thoroughly in his notes; he was building his future Magic Attributes.
Ronan wanted to ask for more details about the Soul Seal, but that crisp voice lost the patience to continue.
