Class changing, are we unique?

[Ametrine]

On the case of the Levellieurs, shield spells seem to be more common AND potent in Sharlayan, since we've seen Y'shtola use a different version of Collective Unconsious (as a CNJ, even!) that stops attacks completely, the Levellieurs version of "Sacred Soil" may not even be the SCH skill itself but a Sharlayan variant (as for HOW the Sharlayans knew about it...well, that's their whole shtick, gathering knowledge and then not telling anyone about it, at least until grandpa Louisoix rebelled) or a completely different spell that works similarly.

I'm thinking the same. AST's entire story has the underlying theme that Sharlayans are severely punished for sharing their knowledge and teaching outsiders like you their techniques (it's almost on par with murder!), and every Sharlayan we've met has been very powerful.

We should be glad their leaders are pacifists!
