I'm playing as Kraxis, and I recruited a kingdom-allied mage at (I think) level 5--she had path of the mage and life 1 or 2 (as well as knowledge and maybe one more). She's now level 15 and not once have I been able to choose another magic school or a further progression in life magic. Did I just roll snake eyes? Or is life magic forbidden as a level-up choice when playing an empire?

Just about every damn level I get the option of evoker 1 and summoner 1--completely useless. It's very frustrating.
