[QUOTE="Jago, post: 6915681, member: 6855130"] That does seem to be the composition so far: pretty varied it looks. This is a good question. While I [I]loooove[/I] the idea of a "Guild Arcane" and that will [B]definitely [/B]be a thing, I do not think they would be the ones policing magic. Nobody would trust the Mages to police the Mages, you know? I would say [B]The Church of The Maker[/B] is the most sensible choice: they're in every city so they can cross all City-State boundaries, meaning their records can travel freely. If you're a Spellcaster, you've got to bring yourself in front of the Church and get your papers. Naturally, Warlocks may have a [I]bit[/I] of trouble with this. For enforcement, that's basically anyone. The Church may have dedicated "Mage Hunters", but the local guards and authority of the City-States would also be vested in catching rogue spellcasters. A city guard would be well within their power to ask someone for their papers if they just saw a spell go off. There may even be some City-States with a group or two of "concerned citizens" who may not even care if the Mage in question is Sanctioned or not. Both of these are great, and I love the second idea basically pairing up a Mage Hunter and a Magical Scholar, that's just good stuff. Shores up a party role and the idea of a [I]Mercenari[/I] is right at home. The Wood Elf intrigues me as well: someone from outside the City-States? Love both, really. Both feel very [I]noir[/I], and I kinda like that to show the shadows under the Illuminated Age going on. [I]"She walked into my studio as I was finishing up the touches on my latest piece, turning my da Vinci into a Botticelli with one brush stroke ..."[/I] I dig this a lot. Really, good stuff all around, I love every option and I know there's a lot of character in there. I can't really lean towards encouraging one option over the other. [/QUOTE]
