Philosopher
All that live will eventually die, but ideas is immortal. In this way, no thought can be truly unique.
Career
Qualifications
Art is greatly appreciated on this aged world, so those who are able to stand against the tide and be slapped by its waves are qualified. This job is more appealing to people who require intellectual stimulation, but would rather not become a mage.
Payment & Reimbursement
Sufficient payment is given to philosophers that write or work as some form of adviser, but such esteemed jobs are rare to find. Because of this, many brilliant philosophers' names are lost to history, but their words are sometimes preserved as an anonymous prose or poem.
Other Benefits
Philosophers are not widely respected like mages, but many wise kings place great value their opinions. As a whole, philosophers are mocked as "lazy mages", but a select few have made the lives of many Fluxers infinitely better.
