Guild Ethos & Interpretations
A Wizard is one that joins The Wizards Guild. Regardless of profession, they become Wizards and strive to perfect the Art of Magic in all its forms. Perfection is the goal that all aspire, though it is recognised few will achieve. The Guild does not dictate how members should behave. We are a guild with broad membership that has many differing views on life. However, there is a commonality that draws people together under the umbrella of Wizards.
1. Wizards are honest, thoughtful and respectful towards others at all times.
2. Wizards
are neither superior nor inferior to another person.
3.
Wizards
practise the light side of magic. Greed and personal advancement at the cost of
others are not concepts practised by Wizards.
4.
Wizards
are committed to learning and perfecting the Art of Magic.
5.
Wizards
are urged to become friends with all in the Guild. We unite under a common name
and purpose. Together, as comrades, we shall further everyone's understanding
and satisfaction of the World.
6.
A Wizard's Family is the
Guild. You live, and perhaps die, for them.
7.
Wisdom
is the greatest asset a Guild can have. Through Wisdom and knowledge, comes
power. The power to assist all those around us. Wizards are encouraged to learn
from each other, to support each others quests for knowledge.
8.
Wizards
know that the experience is best gained through personal achievement or
co-operation within a group. Experience "earned" by hanging on to someone's
coattails may increase your abilities but not your Wisdom.
9.
A
Wizard shall not inhibit another wizard's opportunity at achieving wisdom by
giving out quest answers, though vauge hints to the weary adventurer are
permitted.
10.
Wizards
do their best to support the Guild and its members, providing The Wizard's Ethos
is not broken in the process. Wizards are encouraged to share their ideas for
and with the Guild.
11.
Wizards
air their grievances within the confines of the Guild. Public displays of
disunity do not advance the guild and do not rectify the situation. A civilised
meeting with Patrons and Leaders will solve difficulties far more effectively.
12.
The
Ethos is the summation of a way of life, not hard and fast rules. A Wizard
interprets the above and applies its spirit, not its word.
Guidance on any aspects of this Ethos can be obtained from the Guild's Leaders
or Elders.
