Ages of Despair has an interesting one, or maybe had.. Currently the guild is suspended, pending some adjustments to balance it. Originally it was two guild that got crammed together into one in the development stages, so it ended up a tad over powered. In any case, the magic system for Woodland is based one elements, which shift through use. The entire guild has to work cooperatively to keep the elements in balance (by avoiding over-use of say fire spells), it is actually possible to depleat one element to the point where spells using it have little or no effect. Spells themselves are not automatically gained either, they must be found, and as I understand it there are different 'paths' you can follow, each with unique sets of spells, so you can't ever aquire the entire list of possible spells. There are quite a few people desperately waiting for when this guild reopens.
