Magician Ranks


"There is more to the study of mysticism and the occult than most people might even dream! In the mystic order to which I belong, it is indeed written that practioners of the mystical arts must choose a disciple or disciples, to insure the continuity of the struggles against malefic forces, but only at such a time that it is fitting and proper! " - Kazumi

The following steps show the various degrees of magic wielder rank or status.

Novice

A beginning magician. He is spending most of his time with his master. He can study tomes and scrolls and even perform magic found therein, but spells that he has read in a tome or on a scroll must be studied each time he uses them -- he cannot yet commit them to memory.

Novices are usually ignored by the more powerful dimensional entities. A novice using a Dimensional Entreaty spell uses his magic as normal, the entity entreated usually willnot be affronted by the entreaty or take action. The dimensional entity feels that it is an investment in the future, but the character is currently beneath his total consideration. A novice can, however, provoke a hostile reaction from extra-dimensional entities by abusing their powerusing it in ways the entity would not normally approve of.

Disciple

This magician has a bit more experience. He assists the master in some of his rituals, but is spending more time adventuring than a novice. He may learn new spells from his master's written works.

Disciples, like novices, are usually ignored by the more powerful dimensional entities. A disciple using a Dimensional Entreaty spell uses his magic as normal, the entity entreated usually willnot be affronted by the entreaty or take action. The dimensional entity feels that it is an investment in the future, but the character is currently beneath his total consideration.

A disciple can, however, provoke a hostile reaction from extra-dimensional entities by abusing their powerusing it in ways the entity would not normally approve of.
