How about a combination mage/shaman? (Sound rather munchkinous, in case
anyone wants to point that out :) Sort of like the physical magicians from
The Book Whose Name We Won't Mention (Yet) For Fear Of Copyright Lawsuits,
but instead of physad/magician it could be shaman/mage :)

Nah...

I personally do not think this is a good idea. Not from a standpoint of it's against this
rule or that rule but it is a matter of tradition. The magic that the characters use
stems from their understanding of their tradition. The views of magic for mages, shamans,
and other magical traditions for that matter are incompatible. This is also the answer to
what the difference is between a shaman and a hougan. IMHO, it is that they are both from
different traditions.
