Ymir

Ymir or better known as The Magic Institute is a scholarly organisation founded by the Ascended Bolton’s shortly after the split. With a new batch of magically awakened humans cropping up after Baldr was defeated, the High Elves offered to create a foundation for magically awakened humans to learn about their newfound powers.

Overview
At the head of the MI is a member of the Bolton family, presently Rebecca Bolton fulfils this role with her official title being the Grand Magic Scholar, a role she would eventually take from her brother given his interaction due to his shortcomings against Matilda.

As Grand Magic Scholar she also chairs the 7 Lances. A position held for 7 of the most powerful mages born contracted to the Magic Institute.

The selling point which attracts many mages across the world to Mystic are the 7 Archives. The 7 Archives are powerful forms of contract magic that was initially designed to unite Mages. Becoming contracted to an archive gives the mage involved access and understanding to a plethora of magic foundations that have existed since mana came from Aether. It also creates a mana pool that they can draw from.

Those who undergo this process become Contract Mages. While a Contract Mage in theory has no allegiance to Mystic there is a cloud of doubt because of the nations politics.

Mages can go train in Mystic regardless under the tutelage of Scholar Mages. They are open to anyone from any background so long as they can use magic.
