P.S
Please send these rules and regulations to the other
members of this clan, Thx.

Leader,
Montravant

Montravant sent me this e-mail in November, when we were open. There have been more rules added, but this is the basics everyone.

ArchMage- Highest rank of all. Only the persons who
are chosen by me and u can have this rank. They have
full authority on everyrthing. SO WE SHOULD CHOOSE
WISELY!!
HighMage- Second highest, they can also recruit but
can not ban unless they report to the ArchMage, they
can also give license on magic.
Councilors- They make the laws, these laws must first
be aproved by both the ArchMage and HighMage.
Alchemist- Makes potions with certain ingredients. Studies Ingredients, and helps research for healers.
Mage- Other known as Wizards
Enforcers- Enforcers are pretty much what they sound like, they enforce the code of magic and make sure everyone has a proper magic license.
Aprentice- These are learning wizards or mages.
Mageling- Lowest class these are the newbie mages
Healers- While not belonging to the mystical nature of pure mages, healers are a must in my opinion. This profesion allows you do be the doctors, you study ingredients, and make experimental tests to find cures for ailments. You will need a vast knowledge of Alchemy to be a healer, and you must know a certain degree of Clerical Knowledge.
NEW Enchanters- A brand new class added, enchanters use their magical talents to enchant and create items. These are very different from the Enchantment/Charms group;YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE A DEGREEE IN ENCHAMENT/CHARMS YOU NEED ONE IN ENCHANTING. First, you need an Upper Degree to actually start making enchantments. From there, you start out making lesser items, you can't instantly make a superior item. You must attain an enchanting rank, which can be attained once you get your Upper Degree. Here are the ranks
Basic Enchanter- You can make magical weapons, but not fairly strong. Equivalent to +1 items.
Advanced Enchanter- From here, your weapons have a greater appeal to people, equivelent to +2 items.
Greater Enchanter-Now this is where your items get good. Not only can you make +3 items, but you can bound 1 spell to them such as magic missle, but not powerful spells (Up to level 3 spells)
Skilled Smith-The second highest enchanter, you can make +4 items and imbue 1 spell with them (up to level 6 spells)
Mystic Smith-Most powerful enchanter, makes +5 and up items and has a ability to imbue 1-6 spells (6 and up) in them, and has the ability to have an increased attribute (such as +2 to strength, but up to 4 points)

Right now, I am currently attempting to abolish Rankings. I cannot find the old post in the old posts, so i must make-do with what i have. I will also add some more stuff, and try to mold this into a succsesfull Clan. Although it isn't what Montravant had in mind (I think he didn't have this in mind), I will try my best until he returns.

Categories
Enforcer Category
Overseer- The Overseers are judges for when people disobey the law, whether it be misusers of magic, or a thief in the Clan. We can have multiple Oveerseers in the Clan.
Enforcer- These are the basic people who go and make sure people do not abuse magic, have a license, and make sure no crimes occur within guild walls.

Mage Category
Freelancer- While the mage category doesn't have a specific job for the guild, they can do tasks that need to be done for a price. These are called freelancers, who go around looking for some sort of task. Note: All Mages are Freelancers.
Loremaster- Loremasters are Wizards who concentrate on Knowledge, valuing lore and secrets over gold. They uncover secrets that they then use to better themselves mentally, physically, and spirtually. LoreMasters tend to be old and wise, and can then study Ancient Magics. Certain Requirements must be made to become a Loremaster. You must have studied magic for 15 Years, must a have a Upper Degree in all schools in the Clan, and you must take a Trial.

Dark Mage- In other Words, Necromancer. Very few are allowed, because it is extremely Dangerous. You must have a Superior Degree in Necromancy, and an Upper in Negative Energy. But be Warned, you will not get some of the benefits of being in this guild, and you will be watched with great eyes.

Note to all Mages: If you first pick your proffesion as a Mage, and then wish to become a different proffesion, you must first go back to an apprentice, learn whatever course needs to be learned, and then ask an ArchMage. The time for each course to be learned is 5 days, in real life.

Apprentice Category
If you are an apprentice or Wizard, and wish to learn a certain course, you must choose one of the following below, and spend 5 days in real life learning them.
Alchemy
Clerical Knowledge (broken down into 3 groups)
Clerical Lore
Clerical Aid
Clerical Spirituallity.
Negative and Positive Energy
Abjuration
Conjuration
Alteration
Illusion
Invokation
Necromancy
Enchantments/Charming

Degrees- Each course above has certain Degrees. Lower, Upper, Superior. When you learn the Course, you get a lower. To get an Superior, you must first spend another 2 days in real life, then you must spend another 2 days to get Superior.

How do I join?

Might consider playing a mageling or apprentice whose spells all have to do with light.

Cool! Can I join?! I like wizards. [img]tongue.gif[/img] How do you become a certain rank?

I'd like to be either a mage or Alchemist. Specifically one that deals with Negative and Positive energy. ;)

[ 09-10-2002, 08:43 PM: Message edited by: Willard ]

Hey SecretMaster,I'd like to be a plain ol' mage :D

P.S.:
I feel your pain secret master,but i had to start on august 12!

[ 09-10-2002, 09:23 PM: Message edited by: TheGrandSlayer ]

If it's okay, I'd play a mage whose spells are all <font color='gold'>light</font> spells -- such as <font color='gold'>candlelight</font>, <font color='gold'>moonglow</font>, <font color='gold'>sunlight</font> (can be damaging against undead), <font color='gold'>dancing lights</font>, <font color='gold'>create a physical form made of light</font>, <font color='gold'>make things glow</font>, and <font color='gold'>dazzle</font>. You know, just every way of manipulating and creating light. Maybe plus a <font color='gold'>laser dart</font>, too.

Okay with you, SecretMaster? (And my mage's name will be Rufus. ;) )

[ 09-10-2002, 09:39 PM: Message edited by: K T Ong ]

well thats the good part since my school ends in May,(Early,ain't it?)

[ 09-11-2002, 08:40 PM: Message edited by: TheGrandSlayer ]

Can I join? I'll take.....Enforcer...if I can.

Hmmmmm...... either mage or enforcer...... uhh...... I'll just be a wizard. ;) One that deals with mostly Negative and Positive energies and inter-planar summoning. ;) I'd like to deal a lot with the gods too. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wouldn't that make you more like a cleric, Willard? [img]smile.gif[/img] Well, maybe a cleric/mage...

Willard, how about sharing here just what you mean by positive and negative energies? Perhaps you can list a few spells from which I can form some idea? I know you may have already PMed SecretMaster and explained everything to him, but I'm curious.

Hey not that anyone would read this but i'll really like to be an apprentince, u know learn the tricks of the trade.

Nah. Actually, no gods for me. Maybe I'll be a Dark Mage or a Loremaster or something. Here's what negative and positive energy is, as PMed to Secretmaster.

"You haven't played NWN before? Oh well, I'll tell you what negative and positive energy is. Negative energy is energy drawn from the Negative Plane (evil crap!!), which damages creatures from the Prime Material Plane, (our plane) and heals and boosts negative creatures (undead). Positive energy is drawn from the Positive Plane (good crap!!!). Positive energy heals and boosts creatures from the Prime Material and Positive planes. At least, that's what the theory is. Positive energy is considered holy, and is usually used in clerical and healing spells, and for killing undead. Negative energy is the opposite. A wizard that deals with these types of energies are Necromancers. ;) I don't want to be a necromancer though. I just want to be a wizard or enforcer that deals with these energy types mostly.

Okay! Negative + Positive and Conjuration it is then. I don't want to be a dark mage though. [img]graemlins/bootyshake.gif[/img] Too dark for me. I'd like to just be a freelancer for now.

Oh, BTW, if I learn both the Negative + Positive and Conjuration courses, do I have to spend 10 days in the courses, or can I do both in just 5 days?

I'll be an....Overseer!! [img]smile.gif[/img]

No, they are the same course. But if you didn't notice my rule about specilization, you already have an Upper Degree in Negative in Postive Energies (with the exception of them being in the same course, they count as being 2 things for specilization)

Hmm, an aprentice eh?Hey could Merlin be MY aprentice hmmm,I wonder...

Okay if i can. just as long as u aint' an evil,evil mage. i can't make u anything or whatever i guess, i'll just guard your back and blast the crud out of any weaklings.

[ 09-14-2002, 12:42 AM: Message edited by: Merlin Al'Thor ]

oh yeah as an apprentince can i study all those things all just one? if just one then Invocation all the way.

when does this start again, meaning no disrespect master its just that i'm eager to begin A.S.A.P. once again meaning no disrespect. (oh yeah i read somewhere to become this class of wizard u had to study fifteen years! i hope this isn;t in real time!!)

Well im not EVILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL :D
And Id like to have somebody watching my back

So, Secretmaster let me get this straight.......

When you join, you can specialize in 2 categories. I picked Negative and Positive. You can pick one profession, but to become it you must train for 5 days. Can you learn another school of magic? Like can I learn Conjuration too? In 5 days?

Oooh! I have an idea for the guild!!!! How about for every school of magic you learn, you attain that title?! Like, if you learned Evokation you would be an Evoker. But if you learned another school of magic like Nercomancy, you don't get two names. Ex: Willard the Evoker-Necromancer. You get the one that you have the highest degree in. If both have the same degree, you get to choose which one to be put into your title. Here is the list of the titles:

Alchemy: Creator
Clerical Lore: Knowledge-seeker
Clerical Aid: Divine Curer
Clerical Spirituallity: Spiritweaver
Negative and Positive Energy: Planar Destroyer
Abjuration: Protector
Conjuration: Dimension Twister
Alteration: Realityshifter
Illusion: Dazzler
Invokation: Obliviator
Necromancy: Deathshaper
Enchantments/Charming: Willstealer

[ 09-19-2002, 09:05 PM: Message edited by: Willard ]

We have started. Its just the beginning, explaining rules and such. And no, to become a Lore Master, you don't have to study for 15 years in Real life. Just ask yourself how old is your mage. Is he 20, 33, 56? And when did he start his Magical Career. Did he start becoming a mage at the age of 14, and now he is 26. Lets see, he's been a mage for 11 years now, and now you just have 4 more years to go.
But it isn't really waiting for 4 more years in Real Life. Each month at the Wizard Clan, is equivalent to 1 year of studying because of all the varieties of books and scrolls we have to offer. So really, you have to wait 4 months. In the meantime, you can just get all the degrees you need to become one, then wait a bit longer, and you already can apply. Hope this isn't confusing. PM me if you got more questions.

Altright my mage be 14, like me, yeah! oh yeah i forgot to ask u what exactly does a Apprentice do, other than manual labour?? sorry i have so many questions!!

Hey Secretmaster, who is the leader of this guild? Also, what do you think of my idea?

[ 09-19-2002, 09:06 PM: Message edited by: Willard ]

Hello? Helooo.....? Anybody here? *takes another look* Oh well, I'm going off to Cloudy's........

Secretmaster is a senior? Weeeiiirrrdd...... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Anyway, what do you think of my idea Merlin?

Its cool, but thats up to Secret Master. but i want to know all of them, not just one or two,

All of what? When? huh?

Yeah, Secretmaster is probably busy. Oh well, he'll stop by sooner or later....

whoa i'm in year 8 as well, and i sit on my arse nearly all day ! [img]tongue.gif[/img] of course this doesn;t help my grades very well #sad smilie inserted# but i reckon i;ll do better in the last term reports.

I am a wizard and i have spended long hours in the library of Merlin

and now i seek other wizard to improve my skills ; so could i join ?

Since Secret Master hasn;t anwsered u yet i'll say i think u would be accepted.
