Yeah... I always interpreted Wild Magic as being the precursor of more modern Tier Magic, but I'm admittedly fuzzy on how that works out.

Skyrim is totally in my list of things that inspired this, if you couldn't tell. xD
I swear to Odin, I will turn into a puddle of giggles if someone makes an intelligent bear that can [i]shout[/i] people death. #Dovahbear
I'll probably also deny that character on principle, but I will [i]definitely[/i] laugh. ;3

You aren’t the only one Wild Magic is probably based a combination of D&D’s Sorcery class and Dragonshouts. As for the sentient bear... beastmem are a thing.

As for the Wild Magic and Tier Magic relationship. Basically Wild Magic is the natural magic of the New World while tier Magic is was introduced and given by the Six Gods using a world item and it’s intoduction to New World actually ended up weakening Wild Magic which is part of the reason the Platinum Dragon Lord doesn’t like Players. The main difference between Wild and Tier is actually their cost. Tier Magic primarily uses up Mana while Wild is fueled by souls a.k.a EXP.
