School of the Generic (5e Subclass)

School of the Generic

Wizard Subclass

Wizards of the school of the generic don't like a particular type of magic and would rather be mastering every type of basic magic.
Very often wizards who don't have access to schools of wizardry learn the same types of magic as people from this school, since they don't teach special techniques, just ways to increase the power of existing magic
