Department of Mineralogy

The is the fourth (IV) Department of the Clock Tower branch of the Mage's Association. 
==History==
The Department's name, Kischur, comes from the name of its founder,Lord El-Melloi II Case Files material Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, one of the founders of the Clock Tower, Magician of the Second Magic and The Father of Jewel Magecraft. As of modern day, it was under El-Melloi jurisdiction until 1994. 
After the death of Lord Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald in the Fourth Holy Grail War, it was granted to the Meluastea family led by Lord Karmaglyph Meluastea Deluc during a Grand Roll.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 4: case. Mystic Eyes collection train (Upper) - Chapter 1 Part 2 While the Aristocratic and Democratic Factions fought over who got to take Mineralogy, Karmaglyph pulled the strings so that both would lose, making Mineralogy fall into the Neutral Faction's lap.The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II Volume 5: Legacy of the Alchemist (Lower) - Chapter 3
While the Meluasteas were famous for being quite the softies despite being Lords, Karmaglyph’s actions are quite ambitious. Money was always necessary for Archaeology, but come the 20th century, money suddenly became exponentially more needed by everyone. It’s due to this that he managed to steal the position of Dean of Mineralogy, but this also invited major distress. Stealing a chair from the Aristocratic Faction put him on Barthomeloi’s watchlist.
