any chance at letting arcanists, necromancers, or mystics entrance into the city if they have high enough skill? it just seems a bit dated that the other magic skills aren't recognized by the entrance.
maybe the requirements could be to have 80 real skill in either magery, necromancy, chivalry, spellweaving, or mysticism.

Damn you are right, they changed it. During a few days it was possible.
Absolutely not. Wind is for REAL Mages.
I wouldn't mind if they set up special areas just for the other branches of magic though, like a small pixie village in Ilshenar for Spellweaving, a mountain town for Mysticism, a ghostly village for necromancers.

... a ghostly village for necromancers.
We already have that... it's called Felucca!

lol, fine, wind can be for just mages. it just seems like a dated concept considering it was conceived when magery was the only magic skill for many years, and the mages of wind would seem open to any other skills of magic that follow their principles (especially arcane elves, and mystic gaygoyles).

Spellweaving doesn't, nor does it even use reagents, so it's clearly a different form of magery.
Which of course then brings me to the next two issues of logic... Necromancy is definitely (in UO's context) an evil magic, for your karma drops through its use. I could see the mages of Wind being sort of highbrow about the magic.
Now, Mysticism, which uses some of the same reagents as Magery, the same power words, and does not have an evil component to it... yeah, perhaps I could see through some in-game event where Mystics were welcomed into Wind to trade magical secrets. But before that happens, I'd sort of expect to see a Gargish/Mysticism equivalent of Wind which would then be open to Mages as part of the trade-off.
But... I suppose remembering the first time I was capable of entering Wind will always stick with me, and for that, I still feel it's fine as is. But hey, improvement's not bad as long as it makes sense and rolls with the fiction. :)
