"There are two sides of magic. Neither evil, neither good… it is only the choices and actions of the wielder which shape the fate of all man, we can only say choose wisely."

The Mages Guild was the dominant institution for the training and study of Arcane Magic in Anthos. Looked over by the Arch-Mage, the Guild did seek out those who they consider magically sensitive and train them within their mysterious art.


Admittance

The Guild was known for its selective nature in choosing apprentices, getting access to the college and its resources is not an easy task. Before joining the guild one must first speak with either the Arch-Mage or Master Wizard to be tested and granted apprenticeship. These tests range from simple conversations to quick glance over, it seems to change from person to person. Upon acceptance into the Guild, the apprentice will spend time attending weekly lectures to learn the basics of Arcane Magic. If their attendance is adequate as well as their progression, they will continue on to select a master to train under, based upon their desired Arcane Sub-Type. If all goes well here, they will take a final test known as the Somonium, a dangerous and difficult task which many fail. If the apprentice happens to succeed in this test the Conclave of Magi will grant them full membership into the guild, as well as the title of Mage under their sub-type. Said mage may continue training under new masters, or move on into the realm to put their skills to use.
