The Orders of the Magi, The Order of the White Star, The Order of Iron, The Order of Steel, The Order of Azure, The Order of Saffron, The Order of Maroon are the most organized, militant, and war capable of arcanists. Making up most arcane wielders on the continent of Dophia they maintain the Halls of Magi, several militant orders, serve as advisors to kings and princes, and are one of the few arcane casters capable of using magic in heavy armor.  Highly ordered, well trained in armed combat, able to march in formations, lead troops, and unleash powerful spells the Magi are one of the most devasting forces on equal standing with the Alchemists. Arcane Servants of Mealis, Ondra Seir, and Septriss. Their founder The Firstborn Markov Hybori is the only arcanist more powerful than the great Witherward. 

The Magi channel Words of Power into spells and augmentation for arms and armor. Magi face foes in close quarters sowing ruin to their enemies in swathes shattering formations or forming unbreaking bulwarks. The drain burns calories and muscle mass meaning Magi must focus on building muscle and maintaining healthy bodies to be able to cast their magic.
