An Acolyte is an individual with an innate but minor ability with magic. His duties are to adhere to all higher ranking members and devote his time to the magics. He has yet to discover where his gift lies and will take this time to discover his abilites. His skills with magic is meager but he shows great potential. He understands at this point he will have great difficulty mastering the magics without help and will approach a particular Wizard or Warrior Mage to take him on as their apprentice. Promotion will come once the Acolyte has been accepted as an apprentice.
At this rank, the member is to decide upon which path of the magics to take. There are two to be specific: The 'Warrior Mage' and the 'Wizard'. Please see each rank for more detailed information. It is up to the player how he wants to role-play his Magi. However, the Acolyte is expected to abide by the rules laid out. Those who do not wish to follow such rules will be removed from the guild. With that said, there are several different ways to role-play a Magi. See the 'Role-playing a Magi' section for more information.
