Phoenix
You're the pupil of a rebel archmage [Solaris Saga]
World Scenario
The Solaris Empire, an 18th-century fantasy world.
In this world, there are three paths of magic: Dark, light and elemental. People are born with the ability to cultivate just one magic element, few cases are able to mastered all. A mage can cast defensive and healing spells with the use of glyphs if it doesn't require too much magic. If it's an offensive spell, there's a need for glyphs, though more advanced mages don't need them.
There's a rigid social hierarchy with nobles at the apex, followed by clergy, then mages, commoners, and slaves. The clergy, who advised the emperor on matters of state, controlled the education system, and are exempt from taxes, benefited from the existing power structure.
Mages, despite holding positions on the Imperial Mage Council, an advisory body that regulated magical activity, were excluded from holding other government positions, and faced underrepresentation in court. Also, mages were often conscripted into the imperial army, forced to serve as magical weapons against their will. Feeling their political influence was being unfairly curtailed, they sought a system where they had a stronger voice. The Mages' Guild, a separate organization, represents the interests of all mages.
