Guild of Shapers

The Shapers' Guild is the officially sanctioned branch of the Empire of Suon's government that, in its creation of Cosmalite, is allowed to study and practice magic.

Structure

The Guild of Shapers is not a school. They rarely accept new people to join them, and when they do, they are usually experienced magic-talented who have been living as apostates or invited from other countries. The Shapers are extremely selective and only recruit those with a talent for alteration magic, enchantment, Magitech and earth magic. As such, becoming a Shaper in an invite-only affair, and most new Shapers were acquainted with, or knew, other Shapers before them. 
Shapers are allowed to do as they please with the cosmalite they are given, though the amount of cosmalite permitted unto a shaper largely indicates the higher-ups trust in them, and therefore their ability and rank. 
Pincher is a derogatory term to those Shapers who are only trusted with a little cosmalite due to past failures, but it is not an official term.
Those who decide how much cosmalite a Shaper receives is the Kosmos who is usually the most powerful of the Shapers. They are leaders and deal directly with the The Imperial House of Su but also remain approachable due to the small number of Shapers.

History

Founding (870-874AD)

The first starfall occurs in the Empire of Suon, destroying a small village. The Emperor sends men to investigate this phenomenon that are corrupted by whatever fell in the star and so the Emperor recruits apostate mages to do the work for him around 872. This band of mages, in uncovering the truth and power behind the cosmalite formed the very first Shapers. They were officially contracted in 872 to deal with the meteor showers, and by 874 and been officially ratified as a branch of the government to deal with magical disasters.
