Imperial College

The Imperial College appears to be an academic institution dedicated to the study of Pangera and the properties of the system and mana. Their topics of interest range from the discussion of mana's fundamental properties and purpose to the various states of the different stratas. Throughout the novel many asides are given to various members of the Imperial College in the form of their transcripts, letters or excerpts from books. The members appear to so far be divided into two categories: Magio scholars and Inquisitors. While Magio scholars as their name implies are often the main members identified in the world and responsible for much of the exposition of the college's purpose, much less is known about the Inquisitors. The Inquisitors appear to be a task force dedicated to the punishment and enforcement of privacy over the Imperial College's various works and even allowed to punish offenders by death whether they pry into knowledge not knowable to the public.
