Temple of the Vitreous Precept (magic school)
The Temple of the Vitreous Precept is the product of a collaboration between urban Magi, scholars, and craftspeople—each contributing in equal measure—united in the pursuit of a singular theory to explain the existence of Aeras, Magic, and thought, as well as the relationships between them. Elevating glass as formless Air refined through the artistry of Metal, its practitioners see themselves as ever-shifting vessels shaped by the sum of their skills and experiences, striving to further refine themselves through mastery over their chosen field of expertise.
Quasiphilosophical and semireligious, the Temple has no formal structure or hierarchy; instead, it is composed of small, individualistic schools centered around a particular Magi—often of significant renown—and their students. This decentralization, in turn, fosters heterodoxy, and it is not uncommon for any two separate schools to espouse seemingly incompatible teachings.
