Magaambyan Attendent (Dedication Feat 2)

Uncommon

---

Magaambyans attendants have become full members of the Magaambya and begun to learn the secrets of the university. Not all Magaambyan attendants necessarily have this archetype, and this archetype doesn’t represent the abilities of all attendants; rather, the archetype represents many of those who have affiliated with a branch and are pursuing conversant rank.

Halcyon Speaker (Dedication Feat 6)

Uncommon

---

One of Old-Mage Jatembe’s central lessons was that magic was magic, no matter what the source. Though the Magaambya seeks to hold true to Jatembe’s teachings by aiming to understand magic of all kinds, the mages of the Magaambya have found the most success with magic rooted in the material world. Halcyon speakers are powerful conversants who epitomize the Magaambyan practice of blending arcane and primal magic, seeing both traditions as flowing from the same wellspring

Magic Warrior (Dedication Feat 2)

Uncommon

---

You mix magic and martial prowess, following in the tradition of the Ten Magic Warriors of Old-Mage Jatembe.
