Daggerspell Mages

[Ricastle]

Hey BGTSCC land!!. First post. I'm kind of stuck here. I had a conversation with a druid PC of importance in game and he told me OOCly that "druids would never train arcane wizards". We had a bit of a debate through tells where I quoted complete adventurer page 31, which clearly states that daggerspell mages train side by side with daggerspell shapers deep within the forest. I am beyond frustrated because I have no idea how I'm supposed to roleplay as a daggerspell mage nor how I would roleplay how I received training. This also leaves a roadblock in my background story, I am uncertain how I would get around it at present. I'm not saying I cannot think of something, but I'll likely need some help.

Thanks

Addendum:

I did receive some good natured grief about druids and wizards living together in harmony. I am a veteran of the original dungeons and dragons game series so I do know that druids distrust pretty much everyone outside of their own grove and moreso arcane magic. However, the literature does clearly state there are exceptions to the rule. There are exceptions and errata to pretty much everything over the years. My only wish here is to get a ruling on how daggerspell mages learn their abilities. Whatever is decided in this campaign setting, adding errata to the class description would be helpful for players and DM's to cite in the future.

Training in the forest doesn't mean a druid is training you. Daggerspell mages are arcane casters, while druids are divine casters. They have little in common.

Doesn't mean a druid can't teach a daggerspell mage about nature. And druids can certainly be both druid and mage (just look at Deacon!). But a pure druid cannot teach arcane magic any better than a fighter or rogue could.
