Codice de Magickium versa Educatius {To Codify Magical Educational Laws} an open letter
This open letter to the Council of Crowns and the various heads of state and the heads of the churches from the elven peoples, officially accepting roles as First mentors, and the request to open and organize a massive instiution that would become known as the Collegiates of Magi. The letter contains all the details of how they'd do it, their planned locations for campuses, research facilities, and the detailed explaination of all seven arts of magick. This letter further details the elven magisters demands when it comes to altering the current operating missions of the various differnet orders of Witch-Hunters, one for each church, to alter their mission parameters and objectives.
Of course this includes the biggest change. The idea that those mages not yet trained are to be considered a valuable potential asset. They should not be immediately killed for resisting but instead every attempt should be made to bring them in alive, so long as the safety of innocent bystanders will not be negatively impacted. Your job is to take these risks, it is what you signed up for, so you must be professionally committed. It also changed in another way, one meant to keep the power of magic in the hands of the Collegiates and the governments sponsoring them, along with keeping them readily available for pressed military service. This was a condition of the Council of Crowns of course. That being if a magister should try and leave the Collegiate after their education is deemed 'complete', unless they are elven, they will be branded an Apostate. Apostates are marked for a terrible violent death, or worse. This is because, so far as those elven magisters were concerned, the magister with training whom runs off with all that power to behave foolishly, is far more dangerous than a youngster whom has no idea what they are doing. The reason for this is because a trained magister is not likely to accidentally reach into the Void, but knows how to on purpose. If they harbor ill will to the Collegiate, or a local political official, or noble family, what's to stop them from doing so on purpose and unleashing some sort of Nightmare from the Void, or worse if they grab to much power, opening a breach. What's worse, if they have such ill intent, they could try and run off, hide, but seek children of talent and teach them the darker ways. It is simply to dangerous to let an Apostate live.
The letter in its entirety is quite long, some twelve or so pages, But it is an extremely important historical document of record and note
