Your character can choose any Specialization within their path (magic, physical, or other); Battlemage and Craftsman may be claimed by any path.

Proof: /showthread.php?tid=11575&pid=104136#pid104136

OOC Name: Nemesis
Slot Type: (RCS or Mutation?) Mutation+ via Wish Magic
Character Name: Ace
Description: Ace has developed a longer, more voluminous mane. The sebaceous glands associated with it now excrete the same venom as the pores on his hide, more directly saturating his hair than before. A set of arms similar in form and function to that of a mantis shrimp rest on his shoulders. They can be combed through the hair for a venom coating when used to attack. Keratin plates armor Ace's underside from his chest, broadened to accommodate larger muscles for his additional appendages, to before his stinger. Wings previously more draconic have been altered into feathered ones suited for high speed dives. To increase flexibility, intervertebral discs have become more elastic and cushioned, allowing for cat-like agility.

Would like to exchange MSB for Enter Paradise, please!
