The Masters of the Five magic seek power through discipline, knowledge,and magic
. Conjurors, Transmuters, Necromancers, and Invokers all possess enough raw magi
cal power that with discipline can lead to Master. The path of Masters takes som
e knowledge to begin, so one can not apply until they have reached the 10th rank
of their class. Also, one must start the path of Mastery early so that no one pa
st the 20th rank may start the training. Most important of all is the discipline
required for this grueling education, it is so intense that no one with a chaoti
c nature could possibly complete it. Masters must keep to a rigorous training sch
edule, honing their minds constantly in an effort to remain in the Tower to study
further. Lastly the masters find their power in their minds and magic, not in t
he weapons they carry or their physical combat abilities. Masters prefer to find
intellectual solutions to problems rather than physical, shunning physical confr
ontation annd attacking only in retaliation and self-defense. Their only true ene
mies are those who would preserve Nature, for Nature must be cleared away so that
Magic may flourish.
(Most Masters ive seen are cold hearted PKers...not exactly sitting back and acting in self defence now are they..)
