I've made many Bishops into Fighter, Lord, Samurai and Ranger. Mostly in order to use the lovely regen items available only to them. If there's enough game left to 'reopen' whatever School you're in, your Magic will then continue developing--because you get Realm increases, your off-School spell ability increases a little also. Usually i make the switch from Bishop to Hybrid as soon as they get Portal; by then they've got the buffs up. You'll lose some Power Level (green disks will turn yellow) when you switch to a Hybrid (no loss as Fighter, but then no future gain) but you'll get them back when you 'regain' Magic, even in the off-school spells.
