Book where spells have to be grounded so they don't go wild
Terrible, I know. I didn't get the title, or the author. I just heard about the magic system.
The story contains at least two schools of magic. Spell workings have various rules of grounding before being cast, or else there are wild and unpredictable results. However, these rules are upended when the protagonist and companions run across a wild wizard who breaks all the rules and doesn't ground his spells... this isn't the plot, but merely an episode in the story.
The book would have been published before 2000 (no idea how long before). I was interested, but this was all the information I could get on the story. It seemed to be a mythical medieval timeframe.

When you say two schools of magic, do you mean school as in a literal school for children or more a school of thought (discipline)?
