Dear Magi of the Inner Flame members,
   A time of change is at hand. The Lord known as Karn continues
 to create, develop, and expand the Land of Karchan. The folk of
 Karchan will slowly begin to acquire powers that have been
 previously unheard of in these realms. Warriors will gain
 special attack abilities, Rangers will learn crafts, Thieves
 will "barrow", Evil will spread, Enchanters will cast, and
 Clerics will heal. With these new developments, the guilds of
 Karchan shall evolve and become the defining system of character
 classes in Karchan.

   The Magi of the Inner Flame have long earned their place as
 the enchanters of the land. Being the largest, longest standing,
 and often considered the most powerful guild of Karchan, we have
 earned our permanent place known as the MIF HQ, granted to us by
 Karn. Eventually, we will gain spells that will help us to
 defeat our enemies. As you know, the MIF is currently composed
 of two classes: the enchanters and the clerics.

   These two classes both cast spells; however, they both cast
 different kinds of spells and go about doing so in a very
 different manner. Enchanters will cast a variety of different
 spells which will range from powerful damage spells to simple,
 yet useful, spells. Enchanters memorize their spells and draw
 their magical powers from people, places, or objects (such as
 the Blue Stone). Clerics are best known for their healing
 spells, but also have a few hidden surprises. They channel their
 powers from the deity they worship or pray to. Their spell
 components are often herbal or vegetal while an enchanter's
 cover a wide range from solid to plasmic to organic.

   All these differences within a guild make for more of an
 "alliance" than a guild. The growth of the enchanters division
 has long dwarfed that of the clerics. Also, clerics and
 enchanters are almost always considered to be different classes
 altogether. In order for Karchan to develop properly, the
 clerics and enchanters must Schism. This means that they shall
 be split into two separate guilds; the Magi of the Inner Flame
 (MIF) and the Clerics of the Inner Flame (CIF).

   This is not the End of a good thing, but the beginning of a
 Great Era. The MIF and CIF as separate guilds working
 side-by-side along with their allies, such as the Crimson
 Blades, shall become virtually indestructible and will surely
 destroy any obstacles that deem themselves to be demonic
 menaces. With our presence, the residents of Karchan will once
 again be able to safely walk the streets of Pendulis at night
 again.


Additional Note:
 I, Warlocke, shall appoint someone to lead the CIF. This person
 shall be called the Primus. The Primus will at first have power
 equal to that of the FirstMages. If the Schism proves successful
 after a trial period, the Primus shall be promoted to ArchPrimus
 and fully lead the CIF. The MIF and CIF will remain sister
 guilds with similar promotional structures and so on. Great Era


Sincerely,
Warlocke, ArchMage of the Magi of the Inner Flame [Generation V]
