Diamond College

The school of Abjuration, also known as "White Magic" or "Light Magic" in the vernacular. The color of the Diamond College is white, representing purity above all. Wands that carry spells of this school are often made from diamond, opal, quartz, moonstone, hazel, holly, and whitewood. The Diamond College of magic was one of the first forms of Arcane magic taught in Sidereus. Gifted to the Elves by the Ilith’ari Aarûn early in the First Age, the Diamond College is the magic of protection; creating magical barriers, negating or enhancing magical or physical abilities, harming intruders, or even banishing those who are not native to this plane of existence. The Diamond College is popular among the Gold Elves, who use its protective magics to aid in martial warfare. When Chatûl choose to use Arcane magic, the Diamond College is often the school of choice since it supplements their natural affinity with Divine magic and its defensive qualities.

While the Diamond College is not solely good-aligned, it is often employed primarily by those who wish to defend rather than to harm. Those who wish to see their enemies harmed will only employ Diamond magic when they are faced with the threat of the Undead, or creatures that have traveled from another plane of existence. The Diamond College begins slowly, with few spells at its lower levels, but rapidly grows to be one of the most powerful Colleges of Magic.

Diamond Mages commonly dress in white to celebrate their devotion to protection and their generally positive world view.
