Sylvester Archipelago

Hmm...
Does the Scholar unlock access to alchemist-archaeologists? I didn't know that; I'll think about it.

I understand you took the combat magic skill without any corresponding ability?

No, it's a spell from elemental magic.

By the way, I chose Might and Magic solely for the sake of completeness, when a character has more or less normal stats, but isn't a master of any particular skill, and despite having skills in different areas, can't really do anything well (in terms of gameplay).
