Universalist wizards do not specialize in a school of magic, but instead derive their practice from all of them.123

Classical scholars have categorized some spells, such as prestidigitation and wish, under a believed ninth school of magic, the universal school.4 More recent scholars have categorized all spells strictly into only the eight conventional schools, for example defining prestidigitation as an evocation spell and wish as a divination spell.1

  3. The Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster Project removed game mechanics for the eight schools of magic. Player Core instead emphasizes four magical traditions, as well as the Unified Magical Theory with equivalent mechanics as the universal practice of all eight schools. Details related to this subject might remain part of the setting canon despite no longer having mechanics supported in current publications.
