'Robe worn by scholars of the Raya Lucaria Academy scholar, tattered from being worn on the battlefield. Whenever war broke out and the academy sealed its gates, only Haima's scholars dared venture out.' The Battlemages are the most pragmatic faction of Raya Lucaria : scholars of the Haima Conspectus, the academy's branch of large-glintstone projectile sorcery. Where the Carian and Lazuli conspectii pursued moonlight and starlight respectively, Haima studied weight, the great glintstone of the magma stones, the rocks at the edge of gravity. Their sorceries are siege weapons, not duel weapons. Sword Stance, Loretta's Greatbow, Carian Slicer, none. Rock Sling, Cannon of Haima, Comet, Glintstone Stars, yes. They are the school's combat engineers.

'Manchettes worn by scholars of the Raya Lucaria Academy, tattered from being worn on the battlefield.' When the Shattering broke out, the academy sealed its gates and almost every scholar stayed inside. Only Haima sent its students out. The Battlemages walked into Liurnia and Altus carrying their broad-brimmed helmets and their broken staves, staying alive by the blunt math of their craft. Hugues, the named battlemage of the canon, came from Sellia to study Haima ; his Spirit Ash is one of the most reliable a Tarnished can summon. The Battlemages in the field have, by the Tarnished's arrival, mostly stopped being a unified order. They are quiet ronin sorcerers who walk lightly carrying long levers, looking to drop a heavy thing on whatever opposes them.
