brought in primarily as a healer, is a Shaman/Sidhe
Magician/Balance Wizard. Her background is as a daughter of a
shaman who wed a visiting Ticasi Scholar. Upon the shaman's death
he was allowed to take one of his daughters (both of whom had
trained as shaman) back to Ticasi with him. In Ticasi the daughter
also learned Balance wizardry and made the acquaintance of some
sidhe, (most notably Varange) from whom she learned to be a sidhe
magician. Her official adventuring started after her father died.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Yes, she had to pay the apprenticeship cost of all three paths.
With decent attributes this gave her enough starting experience to
start at MEL5.<br clear="none">

Wizard and Shaman would be iffy. Shamans are Elder oriented,
Wizards are either Chaos, Law or Balance. Probably not.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
However, all 3 IS more possible. Wizard plus Sidhe allows for an
Elder orientation Wizard, which allows for learning of Shaman
spells without Shaman training, although there is no tonah bond.
Actually taking the Shaman training would give the Bond, the
natural magic itemss, and a couple of basic Shaman spells, such
as the all important Orient Self.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
So, I'd say: Wizard plus Shaman: NO, All 3, YES, as long as
Shaman was last.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Of course, ultimately, it's up to your GM. A case for a Balance
Wizard/Shaman could be made, and even for a Chaos Wizard/Kotothi
Shaman with a Desert Lion Tonah tie.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Note that Natural Mages can learn anything, which implies some
immunity to Alignment restrictions, at least between Elder and
Human (Wizardry) magic styles.<br clear="none">
