WizFlux Station

All big cities and villages have them, the familiar large, heavy, rectangular building with heavy walls and no windows, a small tower sits at each corner of the typically three story edifice.  The bright sign over the front door says "Messages Sent and Received here.  Wizard On Duty".   These offices are open five days a week in most cities and are even open on high holidays and local holiday with several low level Wizards working at any one time.  The budling aesthetics may change from place to place, but the basic structure is always the same.  Thick walls of wood and brick covered by adobe, heavy doors of wood bound with iron and the towers at each corner.  Inside the buildings are also much the same with only the decorations and furnishings changing from town to town, country to country.  A spacious reception area for the public with several small, private rooms opening off the area and an office area for workers private from the public.     Customers enter and check in at the long desk to receive or send a message and pay the cost.  The private rooms are for the imparting of sensitive or private messages out of the earshot of others.  Each small room is protected by runes and spells against eavesdropping.   Behind the offices, rooms and break area is a large open area with several work stations across the floor and suspended above the floor, each station is precisely spread out and positioned so that the magical messaging that is the Wizard Flux can be handled without interfering with other stations.  Cat walks crisscross the space and rise from floor to ceiling and young men and women walk quickly along them from station to station delivering messages to be sent and collecting those received.  The entire empty warehouse space buzzes like a disturbed honeybee hive.     The hum of magic is in the air and those who are sensitive to its effects and changes can feel the lotret change and flow throughout the building.  Thus the thick walls meant to isolate the space from the building's surroundings.   Each tower of the building has a young Wizard in training set to constantly scan the horizon and feel the lotret in the air, the only parts of the building open to the air, sending their findings to the headmaster below who relays general changes in the base lotret readings to the Wizards working at sending and receiving messages inside the protected building.
