This is what I have been wondering about.
The discussion about the conjurer and the thaumaturg is quite lively and to be honest I am rather upset because the conjurer loses his character as elemental spiritual.
I know, the patch is not out yet and I will see what it will be like.

But in case the conjurer stays like planned, what will happen to the Gridanian story quest?
I am afraid that the whole scenario will break down in its logic because Gridania is not the centre of white mages but of mages that stand in communication with the animus, hence all the elemental spirits.
They are the people that are connected with nature in all its aspects and all its elements (already again enhanced by the new articles on the lodestone about Kan-E-Senna).
Now if the conjurer changes and loses his character as nature mage or nature spiritual the Gridanian story and city concept will not really make sense anymore because everything is connected to these elemental spirituals.
Now that the elements might be splittet it doesn't make a lot sense to see the druid as elemental spiritual mage anymore.

I know, I know, it's not patch time yet. I don't mean to cause a drama thread but I'm a bit afraid that I might not only lose my favourite mage but also my favourite city concept and my scenario.

(Please be gentle, cease-fire, okay?)
