==Mages==
Any Feline mage will only study magic to do with war.  At least, this is the honourable, and oft claimed thing to do.  Unfortunately, the Empire has not expanded or indulged in war in some time.

Of course, nature being as it will, occasionally a mage will attempt to learn or create such things that aid him and only him.  Such selfish actions will impact upon that individual's honour.  Family and individual actions upon such a discovery will determine people's perception of the family.

Mages are ''Wu Shi'' and ranked according to circle or ''Huan''

===Hedge Mages===
Of course, there are also those individuals who are able to call upon the power of magic less formally, with less training and with less oversight.  If discovered, they will be offered a place under a master mage as an apprentice, which placement will usually cancel out the loss of honour suffered as a result of not using their capabilities, as they usually do not do, for the good of the Empire in its more martial capabilities.

Anecdotally, there seems to be a rise in the numbers of such untrained mages, particularly among the lesser races.  The numbers are still miniscule, but some concern has been expressed at high levels.  The creation of a small force of mage-finders has been mooted but does not officially exist at this time.
