Making reworked spellschools more obvious to new players!

Hello!
So yesterday I found that the fact that you get to pick your own opposing school is nowhere as obvious as one would hope such a critical aspect of wizard play would be.
As such, I'd like to request that the messages when picking a specialized school for a wizard at the chargen/level up screen have large bold and red letters describing the change.

Really?
I suppose without it being stickied it slid down the list some, and I cannot sticky/unsticky any threads in the public forum for whatever weird reason has bugged me for the last few months

It's not IG though.
People who don't read forums will remain oblivious to such and assume "well, I played so many years before, I don't need a guide!"

I can create a downloadable .pdf for this if you'd like // maybe some graphics added and such.

We'll try to put a sign in the Nexus or at the IG spawn points for wizards to read, because I get this question asked a lot as well. There are some other things that could use in-game explanation (how the app-changer works, etc.), and one of our highest developmental priorities on the horizon is streamlining the new-user experience.

The opposing spellschool chooser info should probably automatically pop up at first wizard login/levelup.

In the class description, as a custom change notice in the first lines will probably be okay. Will mess up the translations though, more english :/
