So ultimately, it's a form of innate talent/natural genius versus hard work/learned genius within a specialized field. So does this mean that, like Ouramancy, the traits of Sepcarim are inherited through a bloodline's affinity toward said traits? Likewise, would that qualify Ouramancers as a form of Sepcarim? 

I can see a slight irony here, where a Magestrava might find theirself jealous of a Sepcarim's innate and ridiculous control of a branch, easily and thoroughly controlling something they can only dream of having such fine power over; whereas a Sepcarim might be jealous of a Magestrava's flexibility and potential, covering the majority of fields that they can't even hope to find proficiency in.

Sepcarim aren't defined by their abilities, but rather, they're defined by what made them the way they were, namely, the ability to use only [i]one[/i] form of energy. As Ouramancers can use all types, they aren't Sepcarim :)

Also, Sepcarim, much like Magestravi, are spontaneous and random mutations. Bloodline has nothing to do with.

Type-Moon references abound (okay, perhaps not)! So that makes sense, many a Magestrava's ultimate goal would be to reach the sum-total of knowledge, the Akashic Records. But it's such a hard road that they may strive to only scratch one facet of all-knowledge—that is, mastery over one school or another.

It's rather understandable that someone trying to learn... Well... EVERYTHING will be put through hell if they tried to learn. While this isn't my character's goal, I'm looking forward to see if anyone will be attempting this arduous task.

Makes me wonder just what it takes to be a teacher in this field. Or maybe they're secretly divine beings having fun and posing as teachers. Hah.

Ooh, nice, someone got the reference :) Anyway, about teachers on this field . . . well, there aren't really any teachers. Once you get to the point of studying this branch, it becomes a matter of personal research and gathering information. Some help others by sharing information and results, while others hide their discoveries because they don't want others to achieve the impossible first.
