The Master can increase the rate at which a personal enchantment is researched by spending money to purchase rare materials, esoteric tomes ~~and~~ exceptional equipment.

A college of magic speeds this process up dramatically by providing a forum for expert magicians and magical theorists to collaborate, providing them with good-quality equipment and the guidance of a single individual who directs their research.

	When the college was first built, the [[eternal]] [[Cathan Canae]] served as a patron of the magicians and their students. She was followed under controversial circumstances by [[Meraud]], and later (following a [[Queens_and_kings#A_Tourney_of_Sun_and_Ice\|grand tourney]]), by [[Eleonaris]] then followed in Summer 384YE, a [[Our_thumping_hearts\|another tourney]] was held, won by champions of [[Jaheris]]. At the Summer Solstice 387YE, a [[Ice on the snow\|new tourney]] was held, this time won by champions of [[Hayaak]] who duly became patron of the college.
