It may just be me, but I dont understand it. I got some cards with my armor that I wanted that use. However it's not my school and they all call for 8 pips. Currently I only go up to 6 (12 if you could power pips for cards from my school). The cards are greyed out. I went looking but couldn't find that he answer. Help?

the max you can get is 7 power pips (or 14 pips for your own school, since they count double for those) so you can only cast spells up to rank 7 from another school.

prof. greyrose is correct~ mastery amulets circumvent the system, as they allow you to use power pips with off-school spells. however, these are expensive items that cost around $20 in real money and most non-pvp players do not need these; you'll be sacrificing better stats/cards for this ability, especially at the upper levels.

unless you are planning to spend lots of time in pvp, i wouldn't bother. and, if you do decide to go this route, please choose wisely.
