Master
A Master is a term used by mages to refer to a person who is experienced in magic. They are individuals who have chosen to take on a limited number of apprentices, children who want to train directly under a master.
Career
Qualifications
Becoming a master first requires someone to be of age, usually in the mid to late twenties, and to be in good standing with mage society and to have any kind of a criminal record.
Career Progression
In order to become a master, a person has to demonstrate that they excel in magic related knowledge to the point of being able to train another person. This requires a person to undergo a series of tests adminitered by a number of other Masters, becoming a master can take several years.
Payment & Reimbursement
A person who is a Master doesn't have to pay for materials that are used in their education of apprentices, their pay comes from the general public whom they assist in various tasks which are also used to help teach said apprentices.
Other Benefits
A master is recognized in mage society as someone who can be looked up to for knowledge, they have a lot of influence when it comes to what they can teach their apprentices so long as it falls within the rules and since a master is usually a person who is proficient in a chosen field of magic, it is not uncommon for them to be asked to attend seminars to further educate other mages - sometimes even other masters - in that particular field of magic.
