"==College of Tracers==\n\nThe College of Tracers is an institution that teaches on spelltracing, and an association of those capable of doing this . \nHierarchy and Sigil Stone\n\nThe Sigil Seer is the leader of the College. His epithet is \u201CTeacher of the Signs, Guardian of the Stone, the Sigil Seer\u201D. The Sigil Seer is the one person who can simply \u201Csee\u201D \u2018true\u2019 patterns, thereby inventing new sigils on the fly. The Sigil Seer gains this power by looking upon the Sigil Stone in the Seer\u2019s Tower of the College, which is off limits to anyone and everyone else. The Sigil Stone is a fist-sized, perfect star sapphire magicite, enchanted with the ability to grant the power of \u2018sigil seeing\u2019 upon those who gaze upon it. However, it is also enchanted with the power to strike blind anyone who gazes upon it without having at least six of the Keepers\u2019 keys - which acts as a safeguard against theft and against use by those who would become sigil seers themselves. \n\nBelow the Sigil Seer are the Keepers, so called because they keep the secrets of the College, as they are aware of the faith system . When necessary, a new Sigil Seer is chosen by a circle of eleven Keepers of the College, who also elects new members into their ranks when they lose members. \n\nAll other members of the College are either associates , or apprentices . \nSpecial Assets\n\nThe College fields siege weapons with almost trebuchet-sized siegestaves to cast their most powerful offensive spells; their City-on-the-Isle is ringed with six defensive spires each of which is a massive, tower-sized staff with an enormous piece of magicite at its pinnacle. The College\u2019s crown jewel is the Kalimsar Geode, a 1-meter-long, multi-ton amethyst magicite that can be dragged through the city\u2019s streets to cast cityspells."@en . .
