At the lower levels Evocation gives you access to fireballs, lightning bolts, war wizard spells. The Simbul of Aglarond is a 30th level Evoker. But at upper levels it's a toss-up between conjuration and necromancy. For proof, look no further than Thay, where the Zulkir of Necromancy, Szass Tam, has reigned supreme for centuries. Larloch the Shadowking, 46th level Netherese lich, and the highest-level wizard in Toril, also a Necromancer.
Anyone know if Elminster's a specialist mage or a general mage?
