Thaumaturges
Meletians view magic as one of the greatest art forms, and they call the most accomplished mages thaumaturges (“wonder workers”). Many Meletian mages are trained at the elite academy of the Dekatia, but countless smaller schools and private tutors teach the magical arts. These lessons in magic typically include a well-rounded education in the sciences and philosophy. Some thaumaturges find their magical studies aligning with popular Meletian philosophies and choose the schools of magic they focus on based on such teachings.
The mark of a true thaumaturge, though, is a gift or positive omen from the gods; even the most accomplished student of magic can’t earn the title without such a sign of divine approval. One mage might receive the gift of a spear from Heliod, another could receive a clockwork owl from Ephara, and still another might experience a wild, creative vision from Keranos.
