'One of the glintstone crowns bestowed upon Raya Lucaria scholars whose pursuits were deemed worthy. Increases intelligence to the detriment of stamina. The Karolos Conspectus is the oldest of the academy's branches.' Raya Lucaria's faculty is divided into Conspectii, colleges, each with its own specialization, its own crown, its own blue or violet glintstone variant. Karolos is the oldest, the foundational sorcery school : the basics of glintstone projection, the mathematics of star-spell symmetry, the ethical canon. Olivinus follows after, focused on durability and battlefield magic, the Battlemages descend from this branch. Lazuli is the youngest, the most heretical : Lazuli scholars came to see the moon as equal to the stars, and their dexterity-augmented spells (Carian Slicer, Glintblade Phalanx) were tolerated but never officially endorsed.

'Scholars of the Lazuli Conspectus study the moon, in defiance of the academy's official preference for the stars.' The Twinsage Conspectus is the secret one : not advertised in the academy's published rolls, the Twinsage scholars studied two-handed glintstone variants and were drafted as combat sorcerers when the Shattering broke out. Their crown increases mind to the detriment of HP. The four Conspectii together produce the Tarnished's available Astrologer-class sorceries : every spell on the spell-list traces to one of these schools, and every ruined glintstone-statue beneath the academy's flooded halls was once a Conspectus master who died defending an ideology that the academy itself eventually disowned.
