Conjuration

Who can resist a mixture of practical & also being able to create mayhem on demand?

[Steppenwulf]

Divination. So I will always be able to find my car keys in record time, or where I parked the car.

[LrdSlvrhnd]

Well, at first I thought Evocation. Am I cold? Fireball. Am I hot? Cone of Cold. Am I annoyed at the loud party next door? Sonic Blast. Am I about to get cut off in traffic? Wall of Fire. Did something happen in politics? Divine Punishment.

But then I thought to myself, "Self, you're thinking too small. What about... Conjuration?" And then I said, "Well, alright, self, what ABOUT conjuration?" And I answered, "Well, you have Flame Turret if you're cold, and Niac's if you're hot, and Sleet Storm for the party, and Evard's Tentacles for the car, and Deific Vengeance for the politics. But you've also got Dimension Door to get back to the front of Wal~Mart quickly, and Teleport, and various healing spells, and summons (...and looking at the list of summons on the D&D wiki has a couple of... interesting ones *koffs lightly*)."

And then I said "Self, you're absolutely right. Conjuration it is!" And then I responded "Well, of course I'm right, I'm always right." And then I chimed in with the standard rejoinder, "...Except when we're wrong!"

the school with health & healing spells which I see is conjuration.

Someone who takes otherwise has never been sick or watched a loved one wither.

[Tom116]

Transmutation. Shape Changing would be awesome

[xberto]

Conjuration. I'd love to have an Orthon to back me up.

[btolson]

Conjuration... fast travel, healing, summoning and even some destruction in there as well. What more could you want?

[bru]

Conjuration, there are so many great things you could do with all those healing spells.

[Nyata]

definitely enchantment.
if someone gets on my nerves, i just tap their shoulder to make them dance and walk away....

[Thar]

Enchantment

So I can go to go to turbine hq and "advise" as to some enhancements for the game. and "convince" more people that will need to play the game. you get more LFM's... you get more LFM's

and i can think of a few more uses that will move me a bit more towards chaotic good or maybe chaotic neutral depending on your viewpoint.

President Thar the movie star who earned the nobel peace price for creating peace and harmony in the middle east with a former model Mrs Thar.

and i can charm everyone else on this list to share their schools to do all that fun stuff for me.... muhahaha... i mean in a good way....

[Annex]

If you could learn a spell school in real life, which would you learn and why?

I would specialize in spells that provide knowledge of the physical universe and spiritual realms beyond. Through that knowledge, I would seek to find personal happiness, paradise, and wisdom.

[Melli]

In real life you'd have to choose conjuration. That's where the healing spells are.

[axel15810]

Conjuration - my reason being so I could Teleport. And I could heal anyone.

[Vulkoorex]

Necromancy - for when the eventual zombie apocalypse happens.

[Raezar]

Necromancy - for when the eventual zombie apocalypse happens.

Conjuration for when the zombie apocalypse happens, I will kill all of Vulk's minions

[Dulcimerist]

Enchantment

I want to make people dance!

[Lanadazia]

i really like illusion, but enchantment would bring you further. i guess most people do not have a good willsave since they're "mere mortals"
prestidigitation would be very very useful in the everyday life

[mezzorco]

Some of you said Conj so they could heal people.
Give a hungry man a fish and he'll survive for a day, teach him to use a fishing pole and he'll be fine for life.

I say Divination, so I could find a cure for cancer and other illnesses.
Plus I could pretend to be like Mel Gibson in What women want!

[Grandern_Marn]

Conjuration - I would just resurrect everybody, it would be a bit nutty. Then I would move to resurrecting Neanderthals and Woolly Mammoths.

[Drelak]

Conjuration for me, thanks!
That is so creative.
