    Conjurer lore manages to scrape by... kinda. Thaumaturge... yeah, it needs to be re-written. Big gripe of mine.
    I knew this, I chose the name because, Druid being a magic-user who worship the earth and such, would make sense as CNJs now have Earth and Wind spells as well as healing spells.

    I am curious, where do you get that definition of "Druid"? Is it in game lore I possibly missed some where?

    Sure they were a Celtic priesthood, but you said you chose the name because " Druid being a magic-user who worship the earth and such"........I asked you where you got that definition you stated, and you gave no answer. I know several Celts and Pagans, and interestingly enogh, none of the are druids, nor have I ever seen any historical proof that they used magic. I asked because I am not familiar with any mention of druid in the game. I was trying to understand if it was something I missed in the in game lore, or if you had just made it up.

    What I am saying was, that Druid would be a name that fits better because:
    A. Druids were Priests in the Celt/Pagan religion that worshiped the earth (in a sense.)
    B. Druids were also healers.
    C. Druids practiced magic back then.
    D. The German name for CNJ is indeed, Druid.

    Now, there is nothing necisarily in game that mentions Druids in lore in the english version but, Conjurer's are (atleast now) Priests/Sorcerer's who worship the elementals. Conjurer's can also control Wind and Earth spells (Which, in relation to the THM elemental spells, are less 'violent'), Curative, and Enhancement spells (AKA buffs). That's why I think it would fit better.

    Sorry for not being so clear on my first post though, I didn't really want to type out all my reasons for this because I was at school at the time. XD

    Edit: And though I can not give you any sources about Druids at this time, because I am now preparing to go to bed, I suggest you google Druids/Sorcerers/Celtic Priests/Wickens/etc. . .
