The MAGE represents the active side of creative prowess. With the MAGE we are introduced to the concept of intent; the ability to focus the mind, the will, on a specific purpose. Through the personal power of the MAGE, we learn how to impact the world with the strengths of our knowledge, our scholarship, our critical thinking, and our convictions.

The MAGE is also known as the Transformer for the power of transmogrification. Magic, it can be said, is the ability to alter the ordinary into the extraordinary.

The MAGE will provide a consistent source of truth and awareness. The MAGE can be called upon in times of difficulty to assist with determining the truth of the situation and to help shed ignorance and unlearn misinformation. The MAGE influences how the material world is perceived.

The MAGE, while a leader, is neither kindness nor tolerance. The MAGE shows the way, but does not stop for sightseers or lag-behinds. The MAGE does not tolerate inanity or dilettantism. The MAGE demands commitment and determination.

The lesson of The MAGE is persistence. The FOOL now has purpose added to goals.
