Channel the Raw Essence of Magic
Magic predates the written word, the founding of Wizard colleges, and even the invention of spells. Long before magic was formalized, mages funneled the bare threads of magic into protospells, fundamental expressions of what would later become the schools of magic. These spells predated the invention of material components and even the spellbook; as such, the first wizards etched protospells into their minds, consuming their memories as an important component of their spells.
The contemporary School of Protomancy seeks to rediscover the art of proto-magic through research and experimentation. Its protomages have no guidance for this forgotten art, but hope to learn from clues left in the structure of schools of magic.
