If you are already a Magi...

The Temple Leaders would like to make sure that everyone understands what is a relatively new concept. We intend that any and all activity undertaken on the Temple's behalf be considered as justification for a promotion. Learning and applying the recruitment process remains the primary factor in awarding promotions. However we also wish to reward those souls whose time and effort is spent on organising events and activities in and for the Temple, and those willing to assist the Leaders in their projects.

We ask that you make your efforts, whatever they may be, known to us via the Temple's message boards as our sight is not all encompassing. 

If you are in any doubt about what has been said here then please contact one of the Leaders for clarification.

The Rank of Initiate

This is the first rank of the Temple. All who are new to the Temple will assume this rank after initiation. Initiates are asked to prepare for the rank of Novice by meeting as many of the Magi as possible. Initiates should contact the Temple's Ministers and learn as much as they can about the paths of Magic, after a period of some two OOC weeks, Initiates are asked to nominate the path that they will study. Initiates are also expected to learn and prove a knowledge of the Balance of Magics. When the Initiate has acheived all this, they then qualify to receive their next quest. Completing this quest will entitle them to a rise in rank to Novice, and to receive their robes.

Initiate Goals

Meet the Magi.

Study the Balance of Magics.

Extend knowledge of the Temple and it's ways.

Study all three paths of Magic and make an informed decision of which to follow.

The Rank of Novice

Novice is the first rank of a true Magi. Novices are considered trainees of the path that they have joined. They will spend time with the Priests, Ministers, and Leaders, learning the ways of their path and beginning to apply the path's charter within their lives. Should they wish, they may also take the first step toward learning the Temple's entrance procedure by training to interview with one of the Priests or Leaders. Once the Novice has fully grasped the concepts within their path charter, they become eligable to receive the quest that will ascend their rank to Seeker.

Novice Goals

Learn the nominated path.

Learn the Temple's interview process.

Study the Balance of the Lands.

The Rank of Seeker

Seekers are full members of their path and as such, will be required to perform the duties of that path as declared by the Temple's Ministers. Seekers may also be qualified to perform interviews for the Temple, and should consider getting involved in the recruitment process. Those Seekers who do wish to participate in recruitment will be asked to learn the Temple's mentoring process by studying with a Priest, Minister, or Leader. Seekers are not yet qualified to mentor on their own however, they may still mentor accompanied by a a member of rank Scholar or higher. Those Seekers who can demonstrate a good knowledge of the mentoring process will be awarded a quest to move to the rank of Artisan.

Seeker Goals

Practice the ways of the selected path.

Learn the Temple's mentoring procedure.

Prove a competance in mentoring.

The Rank of Artisan

Artisans are proven members of their path and competant mentors. They are sanctioned by the Temple to recruit on their own without any supervision although, they are not yet sanctioned to teach other members of the Temple. Artisans are asked to make full use of their new status with initiative, and be active in bringing new members into the Temple. 

Artisan Goals

Build confidence in mentoring.

Reinforce the knowledge of the Balance.

Take the initiative in Temple recruitment.

The Rank of Scholar

Scholars are those who have gained the respect of the Temple for their knowledge of the Tenets and Balance. They are trusted advisors to the Priests, Ministers, and Leaders and assist in the descision making processes of their path. Scholars are asked to make use of their status by working with the Priesthood to improve the knowledge of the members, in particular, those Initiates and Novices who have not yet attained a working knowledge of the Balance. Scholars who demonstrate an ability to instruct competently on the Tenets and Balancee become eligable to enter the Priesthood, and take their first step towards leading their Temple.

Scholar Goals

Continue to be active in recruitment.

Assist the Priests, Ministers, and Leaders to instruct Initiates and Novices.
