The guilds system works on a prerequisite DAG like the technologies
system in a certain civilization simulation game.

Adventurer: no prerequisites
Fighter:    Adventurer, STR
Thief:      Adventurer, DEX
Ranger:     Adventurer, CON
Mage:       Adventurer, INT
Cleric:     Adventurer, SPI
Bard:       Adventurer, CHA
Assassin:   Fighter, Thief, STR DEX
Cavalier:   Fighter, Ranger, STR CON
Samurai:    Fighter, Mage, STR INT
Paladin:    Fighter, Cleric, STR SPI
Gladiator:  Fighter, Bard, STR CHA

Troubador:  Ranger, Bard, CON CHA
Alchemist:  Mage, Cleric, INT SPI

There may in fact be further guilds with miscellaneous prerequisites,
but they are generally intended for (although not limited to) NPC's:

Scribe: (comprehend/write/copy spells/prayers/music) SPI

Vague Plan for Guilds Prerequisite Codes:

A14: Adventurer, Levels 1 to 4
M14?A4: Mage, Levels 1 to 4 (You must be a level 4 Adventurer to train)
m14?C8B8: Missionary, Levels 1 to 4 (You must be
          a level 8 Cleric AND a level 8 Bard to train)
