"So I find that you seek impossible knowledge not for the good of your fellows, or precious wisdom, but in the desire of power. Indeed, this is an insatiable desire, for none can overcome the Lord."

(Spirit 7:11-12)

 

Most Beloved Brethren, Health and Pontifical Benediction.

 

The use of magic was once held in contempt and mistrust at the warning of the Scroll of Spirit and for centuries this was misunderstood as the outright forbidding of all magic in Canondom, a misconception that has begun to be realised. While strides have been made in accommodating and permitting magic and the ethical use of it within the confines of God’s teachings and Canon Law, there remains a lack of proper ordinance and strict mandates on what is and is not sanctioned by the Church of the Canon. To create such requires the Curia and Us be properly informed in all aspects of all magic, augury, enchantments and anything else considered mystical or occult.

 

If any have knowledge on any form of magic, including the coined ‘Voidal’ magic, ‘clericlism’, templarism, enchantments of any kind, golemancy, and others, We urge you to reach out by letter, book or arranging a meeting with Us or one of Our Cardinals, in particular His Eminence Anontius Cardinal Artorus (@shady here). Likewise We encourage the same for any learned laypeople or theologians who wish to make recommendations based on reasonable facts for how We might regulate or permit certain magics. We pray to God that he might bless Us and those who would aid Us in this endeavour with wisdom and intelligence for this great undertaking.

 

We would have any who know or are themselves the leaders of magical orders to contact Us so We might arrange a time to meet and discuss the functioning, source and use of said magic.

☩DEO NON FORTUNA☩

BY GOD NOT LUCK

[PrimnyaQuorum 1036]

The Master Of The Abstract read tiredly through the missive, setting it atop the growing pile of blueprints and building paperwork that were haphazardly scattered over his desk. He grabbed it, half folding and half crumpling it into a ball before tossing it into the wastebin.

 

Certainly, a bold course of action, albeit one unlikely to go anywhere. He didn't consider himself a leader of any magical order, nor did he feel inclined to share what he knew with the same folks who had said such unsavory things of him, just months prior. Still, a thought nagged him at the back of his mind - if not him, who?

 

With a tired roll of his wrist, he finished the last of his glass - the remnants of a bottle of Petran Wine. He stood, snatching and uncrumpling the paper from his waste. He pinned the creased missive - carefully - to the door of the one person he figured would know how to handle such a request.

 

The Grand Lord had a way with words, after all.
