Council Mage of Cormyr is a Prestige class whose members belong to Cormyr's Council of Mages. While the War Wizards mostly honed their powers on the battlefield, the Council Mages would serve and protect the Royal Family directly. They craft the magical items used by the royals and place any magical defenses the crown deems necessary. They advise the royals on matters arcane and are tasked with hunting down and defeating the most potent magical threats to Cormyr. All Council Mages must first be invited to become one of their number and then must swear a blood oath to never harm Cormyr or her crown (in that order).
