Re: Top objective of the Wizards' Guild
People used to eat peanut butter, but an experiment into the underlying laws of magic permanently mutated the genes.

Re: Top objective of the Wizards' Guild
Shostak, you are a sucker. The peanut allergy is a myth, spread by certain high ranking wizards so that they can hoard peanut butter for themselves. On certain festival nights, they have wild orgies involving great gobs of peanut butter, some of which is eaten and some of which is used for purely recreational purposes which modesty does not allow me to describe in detail.

Re: Top objective of the Wizards' Guild
With the animosity between the Wizards and the Mechanicians, things could get sticky; they might not want to stir up any tensions. And, unless the Mechanicians have a lot of members, they'll be spread awfully thin.

I think groups have factions. In the 1950s, MIT had a Tech Model Railroad Club. There was a group that was the Knife-and-Paintbrush contingent. They spent 'their time building and painting replicas of certain trains with historical and emotional value, or creating realistic scenery for the layout.' The other group was the Signals and Power Subcommittee. They 'cared far more about what went on under the layout.' 'Need of regimental lines of switches and achingly regular rows of dull bronze relays, and a long rambling tangle of red, blue and yellow wires'; the electrical guts and relays of the thing. (from Hackers by Steven Levy) Each group knew they enjoyed the TMRC and acknowledged the other, but stuck to their own. I think the Wizard's Guild is interested in the perpetuation of the Wizard's Guild and all things related to magic. I acknowledge that HCOBB has a contingent that wishes to discover the underlying truths of magic and so they do basic magical research. As a result they learn really impractical spells and enchantments. I would have a contingent like this also. But keep in mind that there would be dissension within that group too as some might look at the root of magic to be emanating from the gods and push that agenda's research.
