The State Alchemists in Full-Metal Alchemist is a good source of inspiration on that front, or the Cormyrian War Wizards. Do you want a more monastic group? The Fighting Monks of Shao Lin could be a "real-life" inspiration for that.The first thing I would ask myself is, "what is the purpose of this organization?". Then, "how does this organization support itself?". Then, "what do other institutions in the world think of this organization?". Dealing with those questions should help you narrow down how you want to handle building the Order.Personally, only allowing the Classes and Builds you mentioned, this sounds like a Military-based organization like the State Alchemists I mentioned above. I see them as a group funded by the Kingdom who enlist citizens that demonstrate magical abilities when they are young and put them in government run facilities to train them for combat in service to the Crown. In war, the Kingdom would use these War-Mages in various rolls, but the results would usually be catastrophic and devastating. Because of this these War-Mages would have a sour reputation among other Kingdoms, and likely there would be whispers within their own Kingdom of whether or not the War-Mages are monsters themselves. Their reputation would demand both fear and respect.</blockquote>
