... The ancient tower of Sorcery fell over 500 years ago but the traditions still live on. Students attend the Royal Collage of Sorcery from all parts of Anuire and beyond  willing to learn and ready to sacrifice all for the pursuit of the magical arts. This is the lure of magic.....

For centuries on end the College has been the center point of Anuires magic and this is not likely to change as the premiere wizards of the land are trained at the College and remain loyal to their peers and masters. The College offers all manner of resources and contacts for wizards and magicians of the land.

Training

First and foremost the College is a school for the training of wizards the description of this training can be found in the Ledgers of the Book of Mage Craft (tm) and will enable an apprentice wizard to reach a level of  wizardry that enables the casting of 2nd level spells ( 3rd Level ). Through out this training a mage will also gain knowledge in Ancient History, Ancient Languages, Astrology, Etiquette, Herbalist, Modern Languages, Religion and Spell Craft. ( This is equivalent to 2 skill points in each mentioned these points are classes as class skills and are in addition to normal progression of skill points ) A cost of on average a gold bar per year is standard, however this is subject to adjustment due to circumstances. The average training rate is one year per level until the 3rd year is reached.

Titles

The following titles are appropriate for addressing wizards the terms Magus and Mage along with the female pronouns can be used in the place of Wizard.
A noble or religious title if present is usually used in preference to a wizard title. Titles are not a fool proof means of identification and there is no penalty for using any title not achived.
 

Apprentice	1st through 5th level
Wizard	6th through 10th level
High Wizard	11th through 15th level
Arch Wizard	16th through 20th level
Master	Addressing a higher level wizard or a term if unsure of the power of the wizard.
Brother	Addressing a wizard of equal stature to yourself, informal.

Masters

A master under strict college terminology is one of the ten wizards who sits on the college council. This council is the ruling board of the college and holds a large sway over the practice of magic in Anuire.

Elegibility:
To become a master a wizard must satisfy the following criteria:

• Must be a graduate of the College, or else must prove his aptitute through other testing
• Must have attainned the rank of Wizard in the 9th level, but it is preferable to be of High Wizard stature or above
• Must swear allegience to the College and abide by its decission
• Must donate some time to the training of apperntices ( pending other arrangements )
• Must seek to increase the resources of the college both magical and material
• Must be able to defend the Collage in a time of need

A vacant spot on the council is also necessary

The rule of the council is simple
A two thirds  majority of voters will pass any rule or ruling ( a quarm of 6 voters is necessary to vote unless emergency conditions are instated )

The benifits of a Master are as follows

• No fees are necessary
• Full access to the use of all facilities
• A seat on the council
• Purchase of Spells at 75% of listed price
• Ability to call on members for aid
• Access to the councils magical resources and Ley network

Ley Lines of the College

Each master of the College has access to one of the councils 10 Ley lines ( it is possible to have access to more than one only if the council does not have its full complement )
The ley lines are all of  level 5 for the purposes of casting realm spells but provide no regency. The source of the lines is unknown but recent thought on the matter leads to the theory that the lines stem from the land of Anuire in general and not a specific source.
