| //Wizards who study the Saga of the Burning Mind learn that a keen mind is sharper than any blade. Moving at the speed of thought, these blade-wielding wizards mete out death with preternatural precision. \\ Burning Mind practitioners are few, as the art can only be passed down via bloody ritual to an apprentice that already carries the gift of magic, a rare gift indeed. To be a Burning Mind is to be both magic and death incarnate, and many superstitions surround them. The flames of these rumors are fanned by their behavior on the battlefield—a Burning Mind knows that their incredible power comes at the cost of a shorter natural lifespan, so they never surrender, never retreat, never hold anything back.// | //Wizards who study the Saga of the Burning Mind learn that a keen mind is sharper than any blade.

| //Ceaseless winter winds howl as they tear across the pale landscape, eventually calming to a slight breeze as snow falls in the quiet and cold night. Blinding storms give way to moments of eerie calm and stillness. For some, the season is a time to huddle inside until such cold days pass, but wizards of the Order of Hibernation embrace both the chance for rest and the might of the winter storms. In their first lessons, these mages learn to store their potential, banking reserves of magic through repose. This practice bears furious fruit: where many see rest as the end goal, a wizard of this school can use the power of respite as a stepping stone to unleashing the full fury of winter’s wrath.// | //Ceaseless winter winds howl as they tear across the pale landscape, eventually calming to a slight breeze as snow falls in the quiet and cold night.
