It seems to me that with the use of a character editor, alot of this could be worked out to at least give people some guidelines. We do have some idea of the roles that school skill versus character level play (eg. the 25 point bonus to school for the four specialists means they can cast at a higher power level than a bishop at the same character level, even with all realm skills maxed). We also have some idea of how class-changed characters work into this equation, though it can be quite complicated depending on the choice of the class change, and some discussion of this issue appeared recently on this forum in the following thread:

I'm sure it would take quite a bit of work yet for an actual formula to be made available, but again some initial guidelines might be helpful for visitors to Wolfie's site, and perhaps someone who's a bit more savvy with maths could break this down in more precise terms.
