To clear the fog...

I just feel like making this post to clear the fog that people can't really see past at what Witchdoctors are and what they are capable of. This includes Wizards too.

"Witchdoctors are masters of the arcane"

Imagine an arc. (Hence the name arcane) At the very top of the Arcane is a category named "Magic". The left side is marked as Wizardry. The right side is marked Hoodoo. Now, going down the left side of the arc, picture all the schools of Wizardry in W101. Going down the right side, picture voodoo dolls, potions, staffs, and charms. In no way, do either sides of the arcane correspond with each other. They might connect, but they connect at the common trait, which is magic.

This is just to really show what Witchdoctors do and perform, and to show what Wizards do and perform. Witchdoctors can't perform Shadow, Astral, or any form of Wizardry. Wizards on the other hand, due to their advancement in magic, are most likely capable of performing Hoodoo, however since they are so skilled in Wizardry they have no use for it.

Hope this clears the fog!

This is an excellent explanation of the differences between Witchdoctor magic and Wizard magic, I hope those who are advocating that their WD learn Shadow magic reads this. ( Not to mention the fact thatW101 and P101 use different combat systems, there's also the problem of shadow "pips" necessary to cast it...)
