Editing Azuth (section)

==History==
Azuth was born a mortal man. As the premier servant of the mistress of Magic, [[Mystra]], he was the first '''Magister''', which made him one of the most powerful entities of his time, on top of being the best spellcaster of his time. It also transpired he was somehow having a love affair with his own deity. During his adventures as mortal, he got himself into a conflict with the demigod [[Savras]], who was a patron of divination and prophecy. The conflict culminated in a mageduel which Azuth won, and ended up trapping the god inside a scepter, though the various churches disputes how the duel came to its conclusion. Azuthians say that since Azuth had the favour of Mystra. he was able to overcome a god, while followers of Savras say that he simply let Azuth win because as a god of prophecy he was always going to know the outcome. It was pretty much a foregone conclusion that, when he finally got old and kicked the bucket, he was going to be promoted to godhood and become the patron of Wizards and spell "book-learning". He would then sponsor other individuals to become Magister after him, so as to encourage other people to take up the magical arts.

By the fourth edition and the assassination of [[Mystra]], Azuth was deposited in [[Baator]] after Dweomerheart started dissolving. He was taken prisoner by [[Asmodeus]] and consumed, elevating the [[Archdevil]] to Greater God status, and leaving 4e without any direct deities of magic, further contributing to the further dumbing of 4e's magic mechanics.
