So, the current Archmage appoints the next Archmage with the agreement of three members of the Council of 12. In the event that no Archmage has been appointed, the Archmage is elected by the council, or, in the event they cannot decide, the entire Brotherhood of Sorcery. By long custom only those who have passed the Archmagus Rudimentum Imperium can be appointed Archmage. For new members of the council, nominations are taken from the entire council. The appointment is then by majority vote of the council and Archmage. By long custom only those who have passed the Lex Magus Rudimentum can be nominated. The power of the council is essentially limited to whatever the Archmage permits. I assume that the only those who have passed the Magus Rudimentum are considered members of the Brotherhood? I also assume that all persons taking the Magus Rudimentum must first become citizens of Mir? What are the tests like? Are they tests of ability (get something done), of learning (do something in a particular way), of personality (make the tester like you), or something else?
