School of Chaos Magic

The School of Chaos Magic seeks to understand, document, and control the raw chaotic side of magic that flows through the world. Many say that this is a futile endeavour, and that trying to harness the raw form of magic is too dangerous. 

Casters do this through the transcribing of ancient glyphs and symbols, manipulating the magic through them, rather than more commonly used methods (V/S/M). 

Led by the Data Priest Llyeshe and the Dragon Lord Kalashnikov, this school of teaching is relatively new, small, and not very well understood by most, with only a few mages daring enough to devote their lives to such a volatile source of magic.
