Component Wright

The Component Wright is a highly coveted but strenuous job within the city of Thaumia. They are akin to a quartermaster of the city as a whole with monitoring, creation, and distribution of spellcraft materials

## Culture

In the city of Thaumia, the Component Wright is a highly respected position, and is often looked upon as one of the quintessential components of Thaumia's Magocracy. Apart from being highly intelligent like most high ranking members of society, they are also extremely well coordinated and possess incredible memory capabilities. Component Wrights are often chosen from early childhood through a protégé system, as young as 5, and no older than 15. From early on, these chosen few will work under the current Component Wright in order to determine their capabilities if they are chosen for the position. Due to the large amount of magic items within Thaumia, it is not too uncommon for periods of five or more decades to pass before a new Wright is chosen due to the magic items used to further lifespans. Because of the rarity of this event, usually a celebration is held in the new Wright's honor commonly referred to as the Watcher Festival. These celebrations would carry on through the week, and end with the official position change.

The Component Wright's duties within the society of Thaumia itself is to control and monitor the imports and exports of spellcasting materials. This is not only to monitor what types of spells are being cast within the city, but also as a form of protection as prevention of harmful spells is critical to the survival of Thaumia long term. Often times, the Component Wrights will issue warrants for the arrest of individuals who do not document components coming into the city. Because of this, the Component Wright is often seen as an extension of the policing and judicial system of Thaumia.

Akin to some religions within Ucril, Wrights will often adopt a simple name to be called by rather than by their own name. The most common names being Rensa, Hadwick, and Menus.

## Requirements

The process of becoming a Component Wright is a long and hard path to travel, and often times is up to the luck of being chosen. Apart from this however, the factors to become a Component Wright are quite significant. The person must be able to recall diminutive details regarding lore, long lists, dates and times, and other factors. It has become a popular joke of the people of Thaumia that a Component Wright could tell you the exact second a timeless being came into existence. While highly exaggerated, Component Wrights are expected to remember exact destinations of materials and correspond them with time.

The Wright must also be incredibly adept at spellcasting early on. Wrights are normally able to cast simple cantrips by their tenth birthday.

While not a written requirement, it is often the case a Wright is chosen from the inner city of Thaumia, however there have been cases of prestigious individuals from lands outside of Thaumia and brought in to become a Wright, such as in the case of Wright Givan.

Wrights were also given special courses on how to make particular advanced ingredients, including Thaumian Chalk.

## Notable Wrights
