Re: Need help with class names

Some other possibilities:

"Essence" could potentially include various branches of science (as well as alchemy), and also various branches of magic - direct manipulation of magical energy, or "elementalist" effects (like calling storms, wind, rain, floods, or earthquakes), or the manipulation and transformation of matter. Essence is about the underlying nature of matter, beyond what you can immediately see and feel.

"Material" or "Craft" - people who directly manipulate matter in a real-world way - artists, craftsmen.

"Body" or "Flesh" could include warrior types and acrobats; those who focus on the performance of their own physical bodies.

"Mind" would be visionaries and psychics, psionics, diviners, and also perhaps spies and illusionists; those interested in the workings of the mind, and in how to expand their own and manipulate other people's. (Politicians might fit in here, along with diplomats).

"Soul" or "Spirit" would be priests, summoners and demonologists; those interested in supernatural, non-material beings.

"Wealth" or "Material" - thieves and merchants, people focused primarily on money.
