My question concerns changing from a magic-user class to the corresponding fighter class (example: alchemist to ninja, priest to lord/valkyrie, etc). If you work the magic-user up in skill (to become fairly powerful spell-slinger), then convert to the corresponding fighting class, does this seriously impair the character's spell-casting ability? If so, will the character become as powerful as the pure magic user again, with time/skills/levels?

An example of this would be getting an alchemist up to a very powerful skill level, so that he has most of the powerful spells, then converting him into a ninja. Would he still be able to cast the spells as effectively as when he was an alchemist?

Thanks in advance for the assistance!
