Editing Magistery (section)

==Magistery Ranks==
The Magistery Ranks in descending order are:
# Seal of the Realm
# Master (Includes Headmasters, Grandmasters, and Paragons)
# Adept
# Disciple
# Apprentice
# Initiate

Each rank in the magistery has a "test" to prove worthiness of that rank, briefly outlined in [[#Magistery Rank Tests]]

Apprentices are required to choose a dominion upon passing their examination, and Disciples must choose a house. Adepts are given the option to select a mastery to belong to, or remain as an Adept of their house.

Each house is led by a Headmaster, chosen from among the Masters within that house, and each Dominion is helmed by a Grandmaster.

The Seal of the Realm is a member of the Magistery, but only the Grand Masters know his or her identity as a matter of safety, and they pass on the Seal's charge in their name.
