I can see where your coming from with it BK and support roles are always nice, But for now I'm going to say you'll still need to stick to three magic skill points. Can't just make the exception because your a support class and then have someone else come in complaining that they don't get as many. For now I would say pick one Element to have dabbled in and as long as you put effort into learning about the others with in IC posts I don't see why you couldn't get the knowledge of other elements quickly enough.

Jon: go ahead and make a CS.

And again with the side note. We need some range guys :) Magic, Bows, Flintlock Rifle I just need some ranged guys :)
