Editing Mages of Valkor (section)

== Mage masteries ==

Upon joining the Mages of Valkor guild, you receive a guilditem which describes as cloth brown cloak decorated with strange runes <intense green glow>


 The cloak is made of brown cloth, and it has small runes written on it. Some runes on it don't seem to make any
 sense, but you recognize the words 'revenge' and 'island' on it.
 To check how well you have mastered the art of being a mage type "mage_masteries".
 It looks like it would cover your cloak slot.
 The mage_masteries table is shown as following
