For Fading Echo (see World-Building), I'm using two kinds of spellcasting. I need them revised, critiqued, et cetera, for whether or not they could work for Pathfinder.
Black Magic/"Rituals": I was thinking of having Black Magic as something entirely different - something similar to incantations, but with each spell requiring a Witchcraft Check (1d20 + 1/2 CL + School Ability). Each "school" has a different ability (like psionics), and the division is purely specialist-based (meaning 6 different spell lists, not necromancy and friends). The Black Mage class will require one banned school, and grant rituals known.
Dusk Magic/"Channeling":Dusk Magic is arcane, I guess. It's going to have a few small changes, though, such as sacrificial components, vitalizing, and HP cost for each spell cast. The Dusk Mage class will use spells granted (prepared spontaneous casting).
So... how are they?
