Friends of Ferrin (6)

The archangel Ferrin is the patron of craft and innovation, and the monastic order dedicated to him sponsors many deacons but especially those with the magic of making. They call themselves “Friends” of Ferrin because “Sons” or “Disciples” might give the wrong idea, as if they denied the primacy of Halos. The nature of their specialty suits them to serve in military support roles as well as in civilian commerce, but few serve on the battlefield. Formulaic magic of the college of Technology is yet in infancy, but a master wizard of the Friends of Ferrin can learn the arcane magic path for it (if his Gift encompasses it) as well as the path of Making and Breaking.
