Through years of study and training, Mages become fluent in the tongue of Creation and thus wield their Mysteries only by hard-won knowledge and careful practice. Their education takes place in remote academies and secret societies where acolytes are taught not only spellcraft, but science, philosophy, and the arts. The mage thus approaches all things magical as a scholar first and a mystic second.
