Very good idea, just one suggestion if I may. Make sure to remain as
consistent as you possibly can with regards to "alternative" types of magical
or magically oriented traditions/practices. We've used "Psionics" in the home
games for some time now (at one time having some 50+ pages of stuff, that is
now no longer used). In many ways I feel very sorry for that player. His
character has so much potential, but he's constantly been abused by the GM's
(both of us), simply because we've constantly tried to make the rules work for
everyone involved.
