It is a falsehood that Father Erud decreed that we should be strictly limited to one school of magic, disseminated and reinforced by the foolish High Council. There is wisdom in first mastering one school, but strict separation was not part of Erud's vision. The strict separation serves only one purpose, to support the power of those leaders of the Craftkeepers, Crimson Hands, and Gate Callers who focus on the politicking of the Erudin High Council rather than furthering their mastery of the arcane. So it may be said by those self-same councilors that we follow the path of Miragul and his heresy. And we do have many followers from the ranks of the Paineel "heretics." But we know we follow the true path of Erud's vision. "For knowledge is the greatest quest of all." And that knowledge is not to be limited.
