Master Of Magic

[Moot 1719]

"I believe the Okarir'tanya should function as a holder of knowledge, guardian of its use, and teacher of it within the cihi." Salazar speaks plainly, meeting Kalameet's gaze with dark green eyes.

I will let the Sohaer and those by his side to answer my question. What would the position as Okarir'tanya entail?

[Princeton 396]

Saeldur stands within the crowd, his hands hidden beneath the sleeves of his robes. He looks to Kalameet, Salazar, and Luthon with an inquisitive brow raised. He shifts his tall and slender frame softly, his weight being supported with his staff as he taps the blunt end of it on the stone methodically. After hearing the groups suggestions, he speaks  out in a calm and placid tone.

"While I do not pretend to be a well known Arcanist such as Kalameet, I do know that my knowledge of the Arcane Arts stretches farther than most people. If this is a serious and legitimate location to place a claim on interest in the position, I would like to hereby express my wishes to fulfill the occupation. Progress and development in the Arcane Arts that are done with balance and safety in mind are of uppermost importance to myself, and I believe myself competent enough to lead the Mali'Aheral people into a era of prosperity concerning the Arcane. Thank you for your time."

[Supremacy 3361]

A response appears on the notice boards of Haelun'or with the official seal of Haelun'or

 

The job of the Okarir'tayna is to maintain the use of magic in the city, assuring it is used lawfully, to educate the mali'aheral in matters of magic and to preserve magical knowledge in conjunction with the Okarir'indor.

[Elindor 666]

Elindor makes a displeased groan before moving out of the public by-ways.

((-reserved, will post tomorrow thanks Moot for already mentioning me. Great pun honey. Your stepdad would've been prou- oh wait that's me. Teehee, cya tomorrow~))

[Moot 1719]

Very good.
I once served as High Magister, and Archmage. I'm both fitted to regulate and educate. I doubt Salazar has the experience I have when it comes to teaching. Specially considering I've been effectively doing it this long. Sauldur does have considerable more experience then Salazar, however I fail to see how he could prove to be more efficient.

[Sentlit 108]

Cyrus decides to invite himself into the conversation, "It is so that Mr Kalameet has the most (and rather successful) experience with work parallel to the Okarir'tayna."

 

He adds now, with mild venom, "Therefore, judging by the course of history, he is most qualified for this position- compared to those who present themselves here, vying for that which you silly spellslingers assume is power- or compared those who simply challenge out of dull malice. Silence yourselves lest you have anything of your own merit to contend with that of timewrought experience."

[Lark 2227]

"Kalameet speaks true, I acknowledge I am inexperienced but one must be quick to seize opportunities should they not?"

[MrSyth 637]

"Let us keep this short. Although I believe firmly that my stepson Izalith is very much fit for the position, I would merely like to announce my interest in the position as well. Whereas Kalameet is archmage of the mage's guild, I currently hold their position of Archanix and would be glad to give that up to fully focus on the position of okarir'tayna. My experience in magic practice spans over a century and my age spans over five. Not only am I a known experienced mage, I am a known experienced administrative worker, which is required for the position. Choose wisely, choose experience."

 

He mumbles.
 "As for the other candidates, I wish them luck, but if I am not to obtain the position, I wish for Kalameet to do so and no other, for else I fear elfiokarir'tayna will not be able to handle their position properly."
 

[Moot 1719]

 

 

Silvos, I am aware of your mental instability. Although I respect you, I simply do not believe you would be in the right mindset to teach our future Mali'aheral, specially when it comes to something which requires meditation, and balance. As a teacher, you're also quite lax. When you "taught" me Alteration, you more so handed me books and left me to my own devices. You did not teach me, I taught myself. With the lack of balance, laziness when it comes to teaching students, I believe you are not fit to educate the Mali'thill.

Saeldur raises a brow curiously at Kalameet, his facial expression remaining completely neutral and placid.

"You express that I have more experience wielding the arcane, yet you offer no particular reason as to why I am not fitted adequatly to the position. Kalameet, throughout my time of living I have seen the Mages you affiliate yourself with. The Mages Guild that you claimed to kindle into a more successful period was filled with bloodthirsty necromancers and general killers. When you were High Magister, I never once even noticed any policies that you enforced within New Malinor or a difference that you made. As I mentioned earlier, I do not doubt your prowess or experience, simply your ability to maintain balance of the Arcane. While I have little experience in leading fellow Arcanists, I do not see that see that as reason alone to doubt my compentence. If I am not seen as a worthy candidate, I wish for the position to be given to Silvos."

[Moot 1719]

 

It's also worthy to question this ones purity. After all, it is true he's a new Mali'aheral who has only recently come to our city. Had he taken the trials? Is he aware of our words, and how we conduct ourselves as Mali'thill? Doubtful considering how little time he's been with us.

As for the apparent "guild of necromancers", there was a single incident which had proved to show a single necromancer within a guild establishment. He was promptly removed from the guild. I suggest not being so daft, openly accepting rumors as fact.

[Princeton 396]

While I do understand your doubts concerning my purity, they are not entirely for you to question. I was deemed Thill' by Durion when he was Okarir'tir, which should be enough to satisfy your concerns. Secondly, I was technically apart of the Guild during it's time in New Malinor and was allowed full access to the establishment, and I can recognize Dark Magic when it is being practiced. Too say that there was only one practitioner of Dark Magic within your ranks is folly, and lying about openly makes me question your judgement. Also, attempting to change the discussion to a matter of my purity and deflecting my claims is not the way you're going to obtain this position.

Considering Durions intentions, I do not believe his words would be sound in such an argument. Your purity is indeed worthy of note, as I'm aware no Mali'thill would like an impure educating them, nor their children. Not no mention the regulation of magic. As for these accusations, I'll reiterate- devices for necrotic purposes were indeed found. The culprit was promptly removed, and banished from the guild. You did not have the logs at the time, nor the information given to me about this mishap. You're making claims based on ignorance, and rumors.

For summary, your experience pales in comparison when it comes to mine. You lack experience in teaching, and regulation whilst my experience is in the plenty. You also seem quite avid on believing rumors, stating them as fact. Overall, you're an unsavory in comparison to Silvos, who in himself is mentally unstable.

Regardless if any Mali'aheral distests me and my methods. I am efficient, and effective. My judgments aren't fueled by emotion or nepotism, and my favor isn't won. I progress without hesitation, and I achieve that of which seek.

This is why I believe I should be Okarir'tayna.
