Magic User Class for Heroic Age of Tékumel

I mentioned on G+ that I'd post an example of a class with the new way of expressing subclasses, such as Tribal versions. So, here is the Magic User class with subclasses Priest and Shaman. Let me know what you think.

Magic User Class

Magic Users can be priests, lay priests, shamans, or other users of magic. Anyone who casts spells is considered a Magic User. 

Weapons and Armor
·        Dagger or staff, and any weapons they received from their background. Magic users of the Temples of Karakán, Chegárra, Vimúhla, and Chiténg* can take any one-handed weapon instead of the staff.
·        Light armor and no shield are required for spell casting. One can use an action to drop the shield to cast.

Metal
Metal interferes with magic. Any more than 2 ounces of metal (20 Káitars) on a wizard’s person or in contact with their body will cause a catastrophic critical failure. Many wizards carry gems or letters of credit for their cash needs.
