Magestor Primus

As head of the Magerium, the Magestor Primus steers a powerful wizarding body. While they work as part of the ruling Council of Eight, they have the tie breaking vote and generally guide and set policy. The well being of the Magerium is their responsibility.  

Sorcerer Supreme

The Primus is revered with wonder and, if not fear, at least a healthy dose of caution. Reaching the rank requires an extreme mastery to the magical arts while also being able to balance the political needs. Along the way to achieving it one will have unlocked many secrets and acquired a number of mystic artefacts. The Primus of course has access to the complete resources of the Magerium and although it is far from a dictatorship, they have fair leeway to use those resources as needed, especially in the betterment of the Magerium or for their own protection.  

Subtle Guidance over Binding Orders

The rule of the Primus tends to be felt in subtle ways. Whether it's by promoting specific fields of research, managing Magerium school curriculums, or funding expeditions. Rarely is it through strict edicts. In emergent situations the Primus has an ability to issue a Binding Order, affecting the Magerium body and bypassing the council until it can be convened, but this has rarely been used.

Appointment

The Primus is elected from within the Magerium council, usually for a term of 10 years, afterwich a new member may be elected. In this manner control of the Magerium should pass through the various schools of magic. In reality the title can be held by a single member for many terms. Primus Aelither Auverdain has just entered his fourth term.

Accoutrements & Equipment

The Primus wears the Amulet of the Magerium, a green gemstone wrapped in gold. While it's powers remain unknown to the members at large, rumours say it maintains a variety of defensive wards from invulnerability to protection from scrying. More malicious rumours suggest it holds some larger control over the council or the larger body of the Magerium as a whole.

This is a very interesting rank! Like a lot of Summer Camp articles, it could use some more variety of BBCode, but you are using custom headers, which is a great start. Substance wise, the article is concise, to the point, and makes sense. There isn't a ton extra I would need to know, just from reading this. Perhaps a quote about the current or recent Magestor would be a good idea.   All in all, solid and a great entry.
