MMORPG.com Wizard 101 Correspondent Gabe Pursel writes this look at the different available schools in the magic-weilding MMO Wizard 101.

Unlike most games, Wizard101 has no actual classes. Everyone is a wizard and there isn't any getting around that. What the game does have is schools. What school you choose will effect which spells you can use and for the most part how you will play. There are seven schools of which to be a part, and you can not switch schools at any time. Although you will earn training points every so many levels that can be used to learn spells from other schools. Remember, any spells from your school are free while other schools require training points to learn.

This is a very good synopsis of each school.  It definitely helps to have a firm understanding of what each school does prior to picking.  I know many a wizard who wish they had picked a different school after they've already dedicated a lot of time into leveling.  That said, no school is "better" than any other school - its all just a matter of how you like to play.

Also good to note.  Each school is weak against the school against which it is strong.  

For example,  storm is vulnerable to myth.

Myth is vulnerable to storm

Fire to ice, Ice to Fire.

Life to Death, Death to Life.

 

Balance, on the other hand, is not effective against any school, but then no school is effective against it.

 

Oh BTW, I'm pretty sure the official name of the game is "WIzard101" not "Wizard_101".

I hate to be a grammar nazi, but things that are done on a professional gaming site should be grammatically correct.

 

"What school you choose will effect which spells[...]"

should read:

"What school you choose will affect which spells[...]"
