Information

When a person with exceptional talent with magic, sorcery, and alchemy is chosen to become a member of the Ten Sages, they must first undergo this ceremony. It is held at the center of Ishana in the Ishana Cathedral; furthermore, the ceremony is held deep within the Cathedral, illuminated by floating crystals that emit a sorcery based light, giving the impression of a divine presence.

The ceremony involves the current Ten Sages forming a circle around the initiate, all wearing robes and their respective Sage's hat. The leader of the Sage's will walk forward and call the name of the initiate and formerly announce their new name as one of the Sage's. Their new hat is then placed upon their head and the ceremony ends with repeated chanting.
