Phinehas I have no desire to start an argument with you, as I am sure you know more about magic than I.
I must however assure you as to the place magic will have in this guild. Magic will have an equal place amonst all other skills available. This is wise and legitimate. We are neither a hack or cast guild specifically. We are a guild seeking quality people, and we require quality people of all skill types in order to make a complete and balanced guild. To do otherwise would be like having a guild where everyone was a fisherman, but no one was a cook. We would have a lot of fish that we could do nothing with. The benefit would be lost. We are not adding it just because, \"it is what you do.\" We have a magic rank because we see it as important. Therefore we are doing exactly as you desire; giving magic the same respect as all other skills. I myself as a senior member of this guild will be training in weapons and magic because I recognise both as valid. Further I hope we will have as many members training in weapons, as in magic, as in crafting, as in all of the skills.
As to the name \"Swords of Ghent. This title does not restrict us in anyway from having magicians. In the same way not everybody in an army is an infantry soldier. An army has cooks, typists, mechanics etc; and because they have these elements it does not proclude the title of army being justifiably used.
