Description: This is a group of scholars, mages and researchers.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
It is possible to extend that period if you can manage to prove that your current research requires extensive searching or travels, and even then only older members will be taken in to the consideration. Newer members can expect to have access to libraries containing methods to manipulate life essence and scientific knowledge about many materials and monsters that they can eploit.
Basic abilities of the mages include, but are not limited to the blood manipulation, biomorphia, shapeshifting, disease manipulation and mind control. More experienced mages could also use those abilities to set their own blood on fire, create chimeras and manipulate the dead.
Due to the fact that they can directly control life essence, every average mage has also much sturdier body that normal, and has longer lifespan, which extends with ability of the user. Their main goal is to achieve immortality and elevate human species to another level.
