Name of the Specialist

Specialists usually derive their names from the names of their schools by changing the suffix. Thus, from abjuration comes the abjurer, and from illusion comes the illusionist. Most of the time, this technique is satisfactory.

However, some schools simply do not lend themselves to wizardly-sounding names. For instance, the word alterer is clumsy, so the school of alteration has opted for the less awkward transmuter for the name of their specialist. We have a similar problem with our school of metamorphics-- both metamorphist and metamorpher are clumsy. Returning to the thesaurus, we find the word transfigure. We can call our specialist a transfigurist.
