    this time three options, for kinds of magic

    divine magic - granted by greater beings
    arcane magic - comes from within
    nature magic - comes from the world

    I always liked the Terry Pratchett version of magic. Completely natural.

    I think i'd like an arcanist most. Someone who does not have to heed the command of a greater power and can just be his/herself. For a divinist you will be nothing compared to the deity, for a naturalist, you'd just be another part of the cycle.

    Arcane, I suppose. Like drie said, it offers the more freedom than divine. I suppose the same would be true for nature, just a different flavor of magic.

    divine is more my style. No army can ever truly conquer the galaxy, but faith can over turn the universe.

    demonic is a form of divine.

    Also, we are talking about attractiveness here, not what you'd rather be.

    Attractiveness as in physical form?

    Because summing demons is more attractive to me conceptually.

    Anyways, succubi and incubi.

    physical form and personality. Of the anthropomorphism of a concept.

    Arcane is just as ugly as your face and has all the nasty quirks you do.

    Nature is beautiful (bet you can find few pics yourself) and I like the whole balance thing it's got going

    You might as well edit the poll as "Demonic/Divine" then, or perhaps "Holy/Unholy"

    Hmm, thinking of it, personality-wise the choices for this poll are lawful, neutral and chaotic in that order.

    Hrm, you are pretty much right for their anthropomorphisms, didn't think about that yet. Divine is odd, because even if the being is chaotic, the practice itself is lawful because you need to adhere to the laws of that being, so any anthromorph needs to be lawful

    I'm voting Arcane. As Arcane can be good or evil magic. It all depends on the nature of the person. As all of that school of magic somes from within. And it can really tell a lot about the person casting the magic.
