This product both brings elements inspired by the
southern continent of Zakhara up to the Sword
Coast of Faerûn and updates them for native 5th
edition Al-Qadim games. Inside you’ll find over 50
spells of the four elemental provinces of Zakharan
mages (more than 10 for each elemental province),
updated from AD&D Second Edition which complement those found in both the Player’s Handbook and
Elemental Evil Player’s Companion to enhance any
Elemental Evil or Forgotten Realms campaign. Wizards who focus on elemental magic will find new elemental traditions, and onks who follow the way of
the four elements will find new elemental disciplines.
In addition, the Brotherhood of True Flame emerges
in Faerûn as a mercenary (or perhaps villainous) faction with designs on controlling fire magic and stopping their elemental rivals. A list of Zakharan wizard
spells, including each elemental province, and four
elemental monoliths for high-level wizards to summon round out the appendices.
These spells are specifically appropriate for wizards – and monks following the way of the four elements – but the DM is encouraged to provide them
as unknown quantities in play, unless a player specifically wishes to portray a Zakharan elemental
mage (likely with the Far Traveller or Faction Agent
background from the Sword Coast Adventurer’s
Guide). Suggestions are provided for adding them to
any campaign as well.
The spells presented here focus on the elemental
magic of Zakhara, non-elemental spells may be revealed in another product. Astute readers will notice
that some of the spells have become lower level in
translation or had other alterations, while some
spells have not been translated at all (and one comes
from outside Zakhara). The reason for this both
practical and philosophical. The Elemental Evil Player’s Companion provides a lot of combat options, but
less in the way of lower-level combat and utility
spells. A few additional options can go a long way
towards completing an element-focused character.
The philosophy of 5th edition is one of fewer restrictions, so many (but not all) of the spells are no
longer tied to environmental considerations. The usage of some spells has broadened, to make them
more competitive (if still somewhat situational)
choices. Finally some older spells duplicate the effects of current spells: many of these redundant
spells have been ignored or combined so that there is
less overlap between the spells presented here and
those already published. The goal here is to provide a
few more options of each element for an elementfocused wizard, and to update many of the thematic
elemental spells from the Al-Qadim line for easy use
in 5th edition.

“Sand, sea, wind, and flame. These four provinces are
the foundation of all arcane magic.”
— Badiyah al-Sa’id al-Sahim, University of Flame
Mages in Qadib
ZAKHARAN SCHOOLS OF MAGIC
Zakhara, the Land of Fate, has had long traditions of
magic, many of which started in the ruined kingdoms of Nog and Kadar before the land came to enlightenment. The eight schools of magic that are
commonly found in the realms are all but unknown
in Zakhara today. Instead, Zakharan mages specialize in one or two of the four Zakharan elemental
provinces: sand, sea, wind, and flame. While many
Zakharan wizards specialize in two elemental provinces, some specialize in a single element.
Adding These Spells to Your Game
While every effort has been made to balance these
spells with those found in the game already, the nature of the game is that more spells means more opportunities for unforeseen combinations. Also, for
some classes, the mere addition of spells to a class
list subtly increases a character’s versatility (adding

sented here as elemental disciplines. If a player is
particularly interested in an option that is not provided for the monk, it is relatively easy to add the
spell as a new elemental discipline as well.
Sorcerers. Adding spells to a sorcerer’s list does
not affect the character’s versatility much because of
the sorcerer has such a small list of spells known
which is separate from the spell list itself. If you
want to give a sorcerer a bonus for focusing on an
elemental spell list, you may consider giving a bonus
spell known for knowing two spells of the same province. If the sorcerer is forbidden from selecting spells
of other elements, you might consider granting a further bonus spell for every 2 spells known from the
same province, but the player may quickly find that
overspecializing is limiting, especially for a class with
limited spells known.
Warlocks. The warlock has a limited number of
spells known, similar to the sorcerer. Like the cleric,
a patron’s list of spells is a good place to swap in
these spells. You may also consider giving a bonus
spell for focusing on one province as described for
sorcerers.
Wizards. Be careful about allowing too many
rituals on a wizard’s spell list. These can impact a
wizard’s versatility because there is no need for a
wizard to prepare them to cast them as rituals. You
don’t need to go overboard when giving a wizard new
spells. Perhaps an enemy or rival wizard might use
one or two of these spells against the PCs before the
characters acquire a scroll or spellbook containing
the spell. An allied NPC might be willing to teach a
rare spell as a reward for the players’ assistance.
One or two rare or unique spells can be just as exciting (and less overwhelming) than a laundry list of
new spells. The spellbook feature makes wizards the
easiest class for adding new spells to the game, but
spell books recovered from enemies may be damaged
or only partially useable.

rituals to the wizard list, giving a sorcerer more
spells known, etc.). I don’t recommend adding too
many (ballpark: more than a dozen) to any given
spell list, and specific strategies are noted below for
each class. Finally, experience has taught me that,
given the relatively small number of spells any given
class will know or prepare, taking all and only spells
of any specific theme—elemental or not—is often unsatisfying in play. A selection of 3-6 thematic spells
is often enough. This product, combined with the
Elemental Evil Player’s Companion, should ensure
that there is a good selection of thematic spells for
any character focusing on just one of the elements.
Bards. The easiest way to add these spells to a
bard character is to make them available via their
magical secrets feature. Any spells that you might
offer to a wizard character can easily be selected by a
bard as well. Adding a few appropriate spells to the
bard spell list has little effect on the character’s
overall power.
Clerics. Domain spell lists are ideal places to
make substitutions without dramatically affecting a
cleric’s power level. Be careful about adding spells
which fuel a cleric’s other features, such as a
tempest domain cleric’s channel divinity. If you modify the cleric list itself (rather than a list of domain
spells), for each added spell you might consider removing two inappropriate spells of the same level,
especially if a player asks for the spells to be added
to their list.
Druids. Druids are uncommon in the Land of
Fate, but the same considerations for the adding elemental spells to the cleric apply to the druid. Just
like a cleric’s domain spells, a druid’s circle of the
land spells are an ideal place to make substitutions.
With a little work, one might concoct a whole land
type for any given element.
Monks. Five updated elemental spells are pre-

Eldritch knights and arcane tricksters can be
made into elemental knights and tricksters
simply by replacing the normal spell school requirements (abjuration and evocation for eldritch knights or enchantment and illusion for
arcane tricksters) with two elemental provinces
of the player’s choice. An elemental knight or
elemental trickster can opt to specialize in only
one province: such specialists know one additional first-level spell of their province.
Monks
The way of the four elements is taught by a small
sect known as the Mystics of Nog. The mystics are
centered in the Ruined Kingdoms region of Zakhara,
but have enclaves elsewhere in Zakhara and even a
few in Kara-Tur and Faerûn. Many mystics still worship the savage gods of Nog (primarily Shajar and
Ragarra), though a few sects have broken that tradition to worship enlightened Zakharan gods or even
one or more of the cold gods of the elements (Akadi,
Istishia, Grumbar, and Kossuth).

Unlike wizards in the Player’s Handbook, Zakharan wizards (and those in Faerûn tutored in the
ways of Zakharan elemental wizardry) begin with
access to the Zakharan wizard spell list and select
one elemental province to add to that spell list at
first level (see Appendix A). Elemental mages will
focus on that province for their entire careers,
while magicians will gain a second province at
2nd level.
When a spell allows you to affect multiple elements (e.g. conjure elements), you can only use
effects related to an elemental province you can
access (e.g. a flame mage can only summon fire
elementals with conjure elemental).

Flame Attunement
Sa
m
ple
Two types of wizards are common in the Land of
Fate: elemental mages and magicians*. Magicians are
more common than elemental mages, however. The
elemental mage specializes in one elemental province, while the magician casts spells from two provinces. Few magic users are trusted in Zakhara, but
elemental mages are given wide berth because it is
believed they are members of secret wizardly societies. This image is largely due to the Brotherhood of
True Flame, a confraternity of fire mages who openly
proclaim flame magic to be the best path of magic.
Most enlightened folk view Brotherhood members as
arrogant and manipulative, which is often true.
Many members of the Brotherhood are overtly cruel
and condescending, both to common folk and to
spellcasters who do not focus on the flame province.
Arcane Traditions
Wizards of Zakhara have the following Arcane Tradition options in lieu of those found in the Player’s
Handbook. Four traditions focus on one province
each: the elemental mages. The most common tradition of Zakhara, however, is the magician, who specializes in two different provinces.
Flame Mage
The flame province appeals to those who seek power
or have an appetite for destruction; some flame mages are manipulative while others are violent. The
flame province also appeals to those seeking purity
and redemption. Flame spells tend to be destructive,
a trait that appeals to most flame mages. Though not
all flame mages are members of the Brotherhood of
* The magician was originally called the sorcerer; this new name distinguishes it from the sorcerer class. Starting at 2nd level, you add one extra first-level
spell from the flame province to your spellbook and
whenever you have at least two flame spells prepared
you can prepare a bonus flame spell of a level you
can cast. You cannot learn spells of the sand, sea, or
wind provinces.
In addition, you are proficient in the disguise kit

The Brotherhood’s Watchful Gaze
Once a flame mage, magician with access to the
flame province, or other spellcaster who uses
fire spells can cast 3rd-level spells (generally at
5th level) they are likely to be noticed by agents
of the Brotherhood of True Flame in Zakhara.
The Brotherhood doesn’t give ultimatums initially, and many wizards simply pay lip service
to the Brotherhood. By the time a spellcaster
can cast 6th-level spells, (generally at 11th level)
however, the Brotherhood tends to expect active
participation by such powerful members. Outside of Zakhara, the Brotherhood is much less
powerful and rarely asks for more than lip service or a quid pro quo exchange of lore and
spells in Faerûn.

Beginning when you select this tradition at second

the spell with a higher level slot, you may treat the
spell as though it were cast with a slot of one level

Flame Strength
At 6th level, your flame spells ignore fire resistance
and deal half damage to creatures immune to fire.
You gain resistance to fire damage and take no damage from fire when you would otherwise suffer only
half damage due to a saving throw. You do not suffer
from exhaustion due to sources of heat.
Wrathful Flames
SAND MAGE
The sand province appeals to wizards who are steadfast and stoic. Sand mages tend to be hard workers,
slow to anger, and unwavering in their devotion.
Their detractors often consider sand mages to be
stubborn and overly cautious.

ELEMENTAL MAGES IN FAERÛN
The elemental mage options follow the established traditions for the game though they go a
little against the spirit of the current 5th edition
rules. By removing the elemental attunement
ability, these arcane traditions lose a little power
but retain access to all spells, which is more fitting with the spirit of the 5th edition rules (but
make slightly less compelling Zakharan elemental
mages). Consider removing that feature if you
wish to use the elemental traditions for elementalists of Faerûn (probably renamed to the traditional earth, air, fire, and water as well, or geomancer, aeromancer, pyromancer, and hydromancer). The DM may opt to bar one elemental
school that opposes the caster’s primary elemental school with little impact on a character’s
power level. In this case, earth and air oppose
one another, as do fire and water. Empowered Element
Beginning when you select this tradition at second
level, when you expend a spell slot to cast a sand
spell and the spell has a different effect for casting
the spell with a higher level slot, you may treat the
spell as though it were cast with a slot of one level
higher.
Sand Magic
Starting at 6th level, you can channel a spell’s energy into a handful of sand and unleash it by tossing
the sand at one target. When you cast a 5th-level or
lower spell that targets one ore more creatures and
has a range other than self, you can target exactly
one creature within 15 feet of you, even if it could
normally affect more targets. If the spell could normally target multiple creatures (e.g. charm person
cast using a second level slot, sleep, thunderwave,
etc.), you may choose one of the following benefits

Starting at 2nd level, you learn one extra first-level
spell from the sea province and whenever you have
at least two sea spells prepared you can prepare a
bonus sea spell of a level you can cast. You cannot
learn spells of the flame, sand, or wind provinces.
In addition, you gain proficiency in one weapon:
the net, scimitar, or trident. You also gain proficiency in the disguise kit, the Primordial language
(Aquan), navigator’s tools, or vehicles (sea). Whenever you add your proficiency bonus to ability checks
related to swimming, the sea, sea creatures, piloting
ships or the elemental plane of water, you can add
double your proficiency bonus.
Sa
m
ple
Many elemental spells require an environment
where the element occurs naturally. An appropriate environment is perhaps most noticeable
for the sea province, but will also be relevant for
all elements. A player asking for a focus on water, for example, is indirectly asking for a game
in which there will be lots of watery terrain.
Likewise the player of a flame mage will rightfully be asking about items in the environment
that are flammable.
Its good form to try to pay attention to the
relevant element and add in fountains, wells,
torches and lanterns, loose earth, or roll on
weather tables as needed. A recurring villain’s
lair can easily be placed near the docks or in a
sewer system to help a player have fun. If you’re
not willing to make these simple changes or
have a story planned in which the element is
particularly out of place, it is best to tell the
player to pick a different character option.
A simple rule of thumb to use during an encounter when the player asks about a favorable
environment (are the goblins using torches? Is
there a patch of sand here?) is to roll a d6 as
long as the request could be plausible. On a 5
or 6 say yes (It may be hard for the goblins to
track the PCs or detect traps when relying on
darkvision). On a 4, say yes, but… using a
risky, less favorable, or unfavorable situation
(the goblins might have only one lantern).

Province Specialization Choices
New Spells
Sa

Zakharan mages have developed a large number of
spells based on their elemental provinces, particularly in their universities in Golden Huzuz, Qadib, and
Rog’osto.
These spells appear in their respective elemental
province spell list.
Alter Normal Winds (Wind)
1st-level transmutation
Casting time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a small, silver tube)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour.
You can alter the winds in 10-foot radius around
yourself in one of three ways, chosen when you cast
this spell.
First, you can create a light breeze in calm conditions (including indoors or underground) that will
disperse most lingering effects of gas, fog, or dust in
the radius. Your light breeze may also allow a small
vessel with sails to move. You can determine the direction of the wind when you cast the spell.
Second, you can reduce a light breeze to calm
conditions, which may prevent a vessel with sails
from moving.
Third, you can reduce a strong wind to a light
breeze, mitigating the effect of storms and other dangerous conditions.
The DM may wish to roll on the weather table in
chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide to determine weather conditions at any point in time.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using
a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the radius increases by 10 feet per slot level above 1st.
Banish Dazzle (Flame)
2nd-level divination
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a shard of glass or clear crystal)
Duration: 8 hours
You clear the vision of one target creature, allowing it
to see despite bright lights. One target creature cannot be blinded by bright lights and suffers no other
effects of being in bright light (including the sunlight
sensitivity suffered by some races). In addition, the

ple
You sear one sigil or word of up to seven characters
onto one surface you touch (wood, metal, stone, or
flesh). Your mark can’t be dispelled or erased, but
may be removable by normal means. If the target is a
living creature, the spell deals 1d6 fire damage unless the target makes a Constitution saving throw to
avoid the damage and branding effect.
A lesser restoration, greater restoration, heal or
life water spell can be used to remove the brand from
a living creature.

Burning Sands (Sand)
1st-level transmutation (ritual)
file
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Sa
Range: Touch
Components: V, M (a handful of sand or soil)
Duration: 24 hours
You imbue a handful of sand or dirt with the essence
of oil. The sand appears normal in every way, but it
functions as lantern oil, which burns for one hour.
Your burning sand can be tossed as an improvised weapon (like alchemist’s fire) on a burning
creature as an attack (or tossed and lit separately),
dealing an 1d4 fire damage at the start of a burning
creature’s turn which can be extinguished with a
Dexterity check (the difficulty equals your spellcasting DC).
Alternately, one application of this spell creates
enough burning sand for a small campfire which
burns for 30 minutes. When used as a campfire,
burning sand cannot be extinguished except by total
immersion in water or supernatural means.
You may only have one application of this spell
active at a time, casting it a second time (including
as a ritual) neutralizes the first casting.
Cleanse or Pollute Water (Sea)
8th-level transmutation
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a bit of sand mixed with
blood)
You cleanse or pollute water in a single body or container, up to a 50-foot cube. When you cleanse a
body of water that is smaller than a 50-foot cube, it
is pure and drinkable.
If, however, you cleanse an entire body of water
with a tainted inflow, it will remain clean for one day.
If you cleanse a body of water larger than a 50-foot
cube, the cleansed portion will stay fresh for 1 hour
if there is no current or inflow, or 10 minutes if there
is a current or tainted inflow. Multiple castings may
be able to treat a larger area, such as an entire oasis,
cistern, or well.

You transform one patch of natural ground (e.g. a
beach or park, not city streets or the deck of a ship)
into a shaded area. The patch may be any shape as
long as it fits within a 100-foot by 100-foot cube.
There is no obvious source of the shade, but the
temperature in the area is cool and the light is not
otherwise dimmed. Those in the area do not suffer
from ill effects of the sun (whether dehydration, sunlight sensitivity, or effects of excessive heat caused
by sun exposure). Any creature taking a short rest in
your shade recovers from one level of exhaustion

derstand creatures that are underwater with you,
otherwise you have no problems communicating with

of the sun, assuming they can breathe. This spell
has no deleterious effect on fire elementals or other
fire creatures.
No creature can benefit from cool strength two
days in a row.

Desert Fist (Sand)
Dust Curtain (Sand)
What is an “elemental creature”?
The original materials are just as vague. There’s
no obvious great answer to just which type of
creature is a flame creature. A flame creature is
generally any beast or monstrosity that has
natural fire attack (e.g. fire breath) and/or resistance or immunity to the fire damage. A sea
creature generally can breathe water and has a
better swim speed than land speed. This includes creatures polymorphed into an elemental
creature, but not shapeshifters taking the form
of an elemental creature. There’s still some leeway: the DM might declare red dragons or fire
giants to be flame creatures. That’s fine. Its
probably not broken to call fire genasi flame
creatures or merfolk sea creatures, a party of
them might get crazy though. Enhance or Quench Flame Creature (Flame)
Range: 90 feet
Components: V, S, M (a rag steeped in pitch)
You enhance or quench the elemental power of one
flame creature. You can target one elemental creature from the plane of fire or another fire creature.

creatures. You may choose to enhance or diminish
the creature when you cast the spell.

make a Dexterity saving throw. If your target was a
candle, the creature takes 2d4 damage on a failed

Not for resale. Permission granted to print or photocopy this document for personal use only. Elemental Magic of Zakhara 13 Casting Time: 1 bonus action

Components: V, S, M (a bit of cork)
Duration: 1 hour
You summon the truth from one nearby creature
which fuels the fire of a special candle constructed
from desert beeswax. You must question the target,
who does not get a saving throw. If the target replies
with an intentional half-truth, the flame sputters. If
the target intentionally lies, the flame goes out and
the spell ends. The spell lasts for 10 rounds or 10
questions or until the flame goes out. This spell does
not compel the target to answer any questions, and
can be foiled by other magical effects.
At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell using a
slot of 3rd level or higher, the spell counts as a necromancy spell as well; any untruth causes 1d6 fire
damage (the victim may make a Constitution saving
throw for half damage) and a lie causes 2d6 fire
damage (Constitution saving throw for half damage).
If you cast this spell using a slot of 5th level or higher, the definition of truth is now subjective to what
you believe; any untruth causes 1d12 fire damage
(Constitution saving throw for half damage) and a lie
causes 2d12 fire damage (Constitution saving throw
for half damage).
You cause one target creature (Large-sized or smaller) or object (up to 100 pounds) to float in water, or
similar liquids, for the duration. Objects under the
effect of this spell automatically ascend 50 feet per
round until they reach the surface of the water.
Creatures affected by this spell may optionally ascend 50 feet each turn without needing to move. The
magic of this spell prevents any ill affects from the
ascent.
If the target is a creature it has no trouble
breathing while floating unless it is being forcibly
held below the water. Any attempt to drag a creature
or object affected by this spell underwater suffers
disadvantage, likewise creatures affected by this
spell have advantage when trying to escape a grapple
underwater.
a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you may target one
additional object or creature for each spell slot level

You summon a gargantuan elemental from the outskirts of the elemental planes known as an elemental
monolith (see appendix B), which proceeds to destroy
everything it sees. You can only cast this spell in an
area with a natural abundance of the element corresponding to the type of monolith called (at least a 20foot cube of the element: strong breezes for an air
elemental, a fire from a small burning building for a
fire elemental, a large oasis or small lake for a water
monolith, or a large stretch of desert or unworked
soil) for an earth monolith.
You cannot control the elemental monolith, but it
has disadvantage on all attacks made against you.
Most casters flee upon casting this spell.
Summoning an elemental monolith is taxing: you
take 15 points of damage and lose 5 hit dice when
you cast this spell. You can regain these as normal
with rest or magical healing.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th level or higher, the casting time
is reduced to 1 minute and the monolith remains for

You create a blast of water that pummels one target
creature. The target must make a Dexterity saving
throw or take 1d6 bludgeoning damage and suffers
disadvantage on its next attack roll. Against firebased creatures this spell’s damage die increases to
1d12.
You create the same kind of water as the material component, or freshwater if no component is used.
If the component is holy water, a) the damage die
increases to a d12 against undead or fiends, b) the
damage is radiant, and c) a hit deals an additional
1d12 damage and half damage on a miss.
The spell’s damage increases by one die when

You turn into an amorphous puddle of water that

ability scores, but has 40 hit points and AC 13 +
your Dexterity modifier. You revert back to your original form if reduced to 0 hit points. While in water
form you are invisible if you are in water (whether a
body of water, a puddle, or a wet surface), you gain
resistance to slashing, bludgeoning, and piercing
damage, you are immune to cold damage and the
prone condition, and are restrained until the end of
your next turn if you would take cold damage. You
may squeeze through tiny openings as small as one
inch without penalty. You retain your normal vision
and speed, but gain a swim speed equal to your
normal movement. You may not attack or cast spells
as an amorphous puddle of water. As an action,
however, you may cause your watery form to become
humanoid, which resembles your normal shape, or
Though it is widely assumed that elemental mages
congregate into arcane societies, only the Brotherhood of True Flame has gathered a large following.
The Cult of Sand, Servitors of the Zephyr, and the
Sea’s Children are such organizations, but they remain small alliances of mages, consisting of 20 to
200 members at most. The Brotherhood of True
Flame, however, is a massive organization of over
2000 wizards which spans the continent of Zakhara,
and has begun making inroads into the continent of
Faerûn.
Brotherhood of True Flame
The Brotherhood of True Flame is an expansive
group of like-minded mages and auxiliaries who seek
power through fire magic. Where other arcane societies count their members in the dozens, the Brotherhood of True Flame counts dozens of members in
each city of Zakhara, as well as many of outposts in
and outside of the Land of Fate.
In the burning land of Zakhara, the Brotherhood
is a mistrusted group of flame mages, but elsewhere
the Brotherhood is little known. The Brotherhood’s
members seek magic, lore, and the allegiance of
flame mages and fire creatures they encounter. Some
are pressed into service against their will or better

consider picking up both the Al-Qadim: Arabian Adventures book and the Al-Qadim: Land of Fate boxed

judgment. There are rumors occasionally that the
upper echelons of the brotherhood have some relationship to a savage god of fire, and that the Brotherhood has the services of devoted warriors, spies,
and assassins, but few members of the Brotherhood
outside of Zakhara give much credence to these tales.
The Brotherhood has sent many idealistic members to Faerûn to recruit those who practice fire
magics and gain more arcane knowledge. The brotherhood does not simply recruit flame mages or pyromancers, however, but any allied folk they can find
who understand the power of flame magic. While
most see the brotherhood as simply like-minded and
perhaps a little power hungry, who would turn down
allies who share the same passions?
While the brotherhood’s members primarily consist of wizards, the brotherhood makes no distinction
between sorcerers, warlocks, and wizards. Many
members, particularly in Faerûn, have draconic heritage or have made pacts with fiends. Fighters and
rogues as well occasionally learn elemental magics
and join the brotherhood, using their martial techniques and cunning trickery to benefit the society.
Clerics who worship deities of the sun or fire are particularly welcome, though rare within the Brotherhood and almost unheard of in Zakhara.
A fighter or rogue in the Brotherhood may be
hired to defend a wizard or reclaim some lost artifact. A bard may keep tabs on local authorities and
report their movements. A wizard might be tasked
with proving the superiority of flame magic, or stealing the secrets of a rival organization. The Brotherhood is particularly interested in gaining knowledge
of the temples of Kossuth, and other deities related
to sun and fire, including Horus-Re and Amaunator.
Members of the Brotherhood in Faerûn are often
left to their own devices, but only because the Brotherhood cannot keep track of all its members scattered in the far corners of Toril. Those who bring
back lore or magic that was unknown to the brotherhood are well rewarded, and those who prove the
superiority of flame magic and destroy rivals are often promoted to positions of authority.

provinces; it is the only real path to true magical power.”
