Wizards

Summary
Wizards exist in the universe to keep the balance of magic in check. Each wizard chooses an apprentice from the Wizard Academy to take their place when they retire in old age, or when the apprentice surpasses all they can be taught by a wizard. This process usually takes many years, but Bartholomew trained hard and surpassed Claw's teaching in only a few years.

Origins
It is unclear when the wizards began their work, but it is known that in the beginning, wizards were highly respected and held great seats of power in old government. Back then, there were wizards that began to meddle with dark magic, and became the center of controversy. The self-founded black wizards were eventually removed from being part of the wizard community and were driven into hiding, where they remain to this day.
