Master (Assamite)

Master is a term used by the Assamites to describe a sorcerer or vizier who has mastered her selected pursuit.

Overview
A master must demonstrate full profciency with the highest levels of that art or study, as well as show that she is capable of thinking critically, not just reciting from rote memory, such as by publishing a book about her feld of study or creating a heretofore unknown ritual. To attain this rank and those above it, a would-be master must present the Council of Scrolls with tangible proof of her achievements (the Assamite equivalent of a doctoral thesis, though occasionally defended with a blade as well as rhetoric).
