So when the Tablets of Fate were stolen from Ao and he kicked all the Gods except [[Helm]] out into the mortal realm until somebody owned up to it; Mystra figured she could just barge her way back in.

	Unfortunately; powerful mortal avatar of a god ~~that she was~~, in this instance she was still a mortal avatar, while Helm was a god at the height of his power. ~~He merely bitchslapped~~ her ~~into oblivion~~ in ~~front~~ of ~~an entire city~~'~~s worth~~ of ~~audience~~, gaining himself a reputation for Lawful Stupid.		Unfortunately, while she was a powerful mortal avatar of a god, in this instance she was still a mortal avatar, while Helm was a god at the height of his power. The result was that he punched her as she tried to force her way back in, which [[Fist of the North Star\|didn't turn out well for her or the castle they were stood in]]. Cherry on top of the shit cake, Helm did this in front of several witnesses that promptly spread the word, gaining himself a longstanding reputation for being [[Lawful Stupid]].

	You really have to feel sorry for her. She started her carrier as a young girl who suddenly became all-powerful during the most traumatic event of Faerûn's history, then she had to defend her portfolio for a few millennia from ''literally everyone'' who wanted it, then she was punished for a crime she didn't commit, and then she was captured and tortured by one of the dickhead gods. No wonder she got a bit frustrated.		You really have to feel sorry for her.

	Furthermore, upon realising that you can do pretty much anything using the power of magic and that Mystra is the god of ''"all magic"'' in an uncharacteristically active move, the overdeity '''[[Ao]]''' manipulated events to ensure that Mystra was forced to spread her power around so that she did not become ''"all powerful"'' and either upset the balance or try something stupid like usurp Ao himself. So the second Mystra was made to be ~~more~~ more active and had to spread her power around.

	She fell in love with a human [[Wizard]] called [[Azuth]] and sponsored him as the first '''Magister''' giving him a humongous power boost and helping him on his journeys through the realms, to the point where he became a god himself, then continuing the tradition of magisters by starting a chain of them.

	While they are all powerful in their own right, there is no strict need for them to be Arcanists, though most of them have some ability. Nor are they given as much power or responsibility as the Magister ''(see below)'', even though the most powerful chosen: '''"The Simbul"''' is easily the most powerful spellcaster in the realms in her own right, regardless of any external "granted" power. So the purpose of the chosen is to simply to hang on to Mystra's power for safekeeping.

	Each one of them us immune to aging, disease, poison, disintegration and sleep. They gain an immunity to one spell of each level ~~''(like the Magister)''~~ as well as gaining one spell of each level on their spells list, good if they are Sorcerers, less so for Wizards who can just learn spells anyway.

	They also gain the use of '''Silver Fire''' which is a lesser form of Spellfire described above. It has a range of minor uses: like generating light and warmth, but can only be used in the more powerful ways similar to true spellfire just once an hour or so as it had to recharge. It cannot drain incoming magic, nor can it reach the supreme heights of charged Spellfire, but at least they don't have to rely on draining magic to use it.

	It used to be that the position of Magister was transferrable by defeating the holder in a mage-duel, which would be an impressive feat considering the sheer number of buffs the Magister gets by default. But then it ended up that the Magister would just be hounded by a queue of ambitious dickhead wizards looking for more power with no guarantee they would actually be any good in the job, thus the Magister would become a recluse and hide rather than doing the job themselves. [[Azuth]] put a stop to transfer by mage-duels and instead sponsors candidates he thinks is worthy. Though that doesn't stop the dickheads who never got the memo from lining up, hoping to have a go anyway.

	When appointed, the personal sigil of the Magister appears in every temple of Mystra of ten minutes and every magic user in the world feels a ripple, informing them the position has changed. Mystra has also decreed that her priests must reveal the identity of the Magister if they know it, subject to a suitable donation to the church of course.

	Thankfully, the new Magister gets a 10 day grace period, where they get teleported to a pocket dimension so they can get instructed by heralds of [[Azuth]] in the requirements of the role, while usually getting access to the spell book of every previous holder of the role, a significant prize in itself.
