NOTES

While the Mage’s College focuses primarily on teaching the next great generation of spellcasters, their secondary function is to police those spellcasters and ensure responsible use of what they’ve learned. This is where the Seekers come in. 

Seekers act as both investigators and protectors, though many feel as if they put the College’s well-being above that of the common person. Seekers are often dispatched in a number of situations, from capturing spellcasting criminals, acquiring powerful magic artifacts, or even recruiting young, promising, talent for the College. 

A Seeker’s modus operandi when dealing with an enemy is to incapacitate and capture, rather than kill. As such, your typical Seeker often specializes in non-lethal ways of detaining their prey.
