Vortex Ranks may be granted to mages of renown (eg. the Moderator of the [[Guild:Magisterium\|Magisterium]]). This is a DM reward for exceptional roleplay, not something you can gain from a quest.

 ==Vortex of Mortal Magic==
 [[Sorcerer|Sorcerers]], [[Wizard|wizards]] and [[Bard|bards]] of the mortal races draw their power from an invisible vortex of energy that permeates the entire world of Avlis, called the Vortex of Mortal Magic. The goddess [[Andrinor|Andria]] controls the Vortex of Mortal Magic and thus has the power to determine which individuals have access to it. As the goddess of magic, all mages acknowledge her as being in control and most, though not all, ascribe loyalty to her because she is the source of their power.
