    Just for fun, I attacked Xzar and you know what the first two things he did? Cast shadow door and mirror image; both of which are illusionary spells! Xzar is a necromancer!!! That's his prohibited school. I used a cheat to have him join me and sure enough, they were in his spell book and he was a level 11 necromancer. Of course, I wasn't able to memorise any other illusionary spells...strange, huh?

    You meet Xzar after returning that dying man to the harper's guild in the Dock's district. Then when you walk northward, Xzar will pop out of nowhere and commission you.

    Frankly, I think the most bizarre thing about Xzar is one of his lines. Try right-clicking him.

    So do any non-playable in-game mages observe the opposite school penalties, or is the Xzar thing just a freak occurance?

    Hmmm.
