[3.5 Base Class] The Esoteric Augur

[Pyromancer999]

Can you define "magic systems"? Is ToB a magic system? MoI? Shadow casting?

Basically, yes. ToB, MoI, ToM, all those are "magic systems"

The term is pretty awkward here. Why not just say SLAs?

I know it's awkward, but it's the best way to describe it. They don't act like SLAs, usually.

Is there a reason why the Psicrystal becomes a living servant? I would have thought something akin to a "crystal ball" or Scrying Aid would have been more thematically appropriate. Living Servant does not fit the feel of the class.

I thought of that too, at first, but I thought about it for a bit. Most sages and oracles of legends and history had some kind of guardian, usually with similar abilities, even if not mentioned by name. Thus, I drew upon that instead of a crystal ball. Sorry if that was a bit obscure, but I thought it was pretty cool, so I used that.
