Mage's Guild

Overview

A world of wonder, mystery, and most of all unfathomable power: this is the world of the mage. The never ending pursuit of knowledge, and power is what every mage consigns himself to. The study of magic is to seek understanding of the incomprehensible. It is to try to bend to your will that which does not wish to be controlled. The potential is limitless, and the power is unimaginable. The mage is a rare being capable of doing an incredibly wide variety of things with his powers and skills. This power comes at a cost, of course. This knowledge require intense research, study, and practice: often at the expense of the mage's physical well being or health. For this reason, mages are not well equipped for hand to hand combat, yet their mighty spells certainly make up for this fact. Undeniably, to choose the path of the mage is to choose a path of wonder, and a path of never-ending excitement. And of course, it is a path whose ultimate terminus is otherworldly power.

Welcome, traveller..

There are powers at work which you cannot yet see, mysteries and secrets 
await your discovery, the Mage guild provides you with answers which no 
other guild can. The fabric of Astaria's reality surrounds us - only the 
Magi may comprehend it. Should you wish to study the lore and spellwork 
of Magicians past then you will be greatly rewarded.

Astaria's Mage guild is the finest guild these parts of the world have 
to offer; you will be challenged, you will learn how to succeed beyond 
your peers should you want it.

You shall collect gear, money and trinkets like the best of them, other
adventurers will come to depend upon your ability to enchant their armor 
and reveal the unseen as you see fit - your list of accomplishments will 
grow long indeed in Astaria's Mage guild.

To sate your curiosity, visit me in the Academe Archanus; 2 East, 2 South 
and 1 Up from Starkeep's Grand Hall, and 'inquire mage'. I will then 
instruct you on how to begin your study of magical lores.

Alternatively, a player can request a custom title. The player's guild and player level must total at least 40 before being able to receive a custom title.

custom [pretitle <type>]

Custom titles cost one crown. A player can receive a plain custom title, or one with a pretitle type. The pretitle types are the same selections listed when you use the 'titles types' command. After entering your custom title, you'll be prompted to confirm it. If, while selecting, you're unhappy with your title choice, you can skip out and save your crown by typing 'q' at the yes/no prompt.

If a valid pretitle type isn't given, the pretitle defaults to the player's current clan rank.
