Harnessing the Forces of the Universe: The Connection between Mastery, Sorceries, and the Edict of Divine Authority

Mastery and sorceries are phenomena that have long fascinated scholars and mystics alike. The pursuit of power and control over supernatural forces has been a central theme in many cultures throughout history. However, in the context of the edict of the divine authority, mastery and sorceries take on a new significance and meaning. The edict of the divine authority refers to a set of laws or principles established by a higher power, often believed to be a deity or god. These laws govern the use and practice of mastery and sorceries, dictating the boundaries and limitations of their use. The edict signifies a divine intervention or decree that establishes the rules and regulations surrounding mastery and sorceries, ensuring that their use remains within certain ethical and moral boundaries.

In other words, any character can master any skill they can learn, but for some skills you they need to have done a certain promotion quest. Being a Honorary Archmage allows any Archers to learn Master Air Magic etc.

With Light and Dark skills, make sure that you get Master Light first, and three particular quests at least will bring down your reputation again, and hire a burgular. Everything we call a trial, a sorrow, or a duty Believe me, that angel s hand is there, the gift is there, And the wonder of an overshadowing presence.

The edict signifies a divine intervention or decree that establishes the rules and regulations surrounding mastery and sorceries, ensuring that their use remains within certain ethical and moral boundaries. Mastery refers to the ability to gain control or expertise over a particular field or subject. In the context of sorceries, mastery implies the proficiency and skill in wielding supernatural powers and manipulating the forces of the unknown.

The Heroes Round Table

One of the things that surprised me was finding out that Master levels of certain skills are restricted to certain classes; for example, only an actual Archmage character can Master Air Magic.

Does anybody have a list of skills where Master level is restricted to a certain class? It's a nasty surprise when you find out that you can't Master a couple of skills you've been nurturing for your characters.

Doesn't seem to be true of MM6

All of my characters are masters of archery, a couple of them are masters of axe, my paladin and druid are masters of spirit magic even though they are only honorary high priests, etc.

The most restrictive mastery requirements I've found are for light and dark . having to attain reputations of saintly and notorious respectively.

(BTW: why does MM6 consider "notorious" to be even worse than "monstrous" or "despicable?" My sense of the words would suggest a much different ranking).

In MMVI, any skill that a character can learn can be mastered, some require promotion, and of course your aim is to be promoted anyhow. Its a different story in MMVII and upwards, some skills can not be even raised to expert level. Red or yellow lettering will tell you if you can or cannot. I hope that this is of some help to you. With Light and Dark skills, make sure that you get Master Light first, and three particular quests at least will bring down your reputation again, and hire a burgular ?, and wipe out a few peasants . Actually, hire a Bard, [if I remember correctly],which will bring up your Reputation one level. Cheers

This doesn't apply to Might & Magic 6. If a Character/Class can learn any skill, then they can become a Master in that skill.

Some Character Classes can't learn certain skills at all, such as a Paladin can't learn Elemental Magic, or a Sorcerer can't learn Self Magics. A Druid can't learn Light or Dark and a Knight can't learn any Magic Skills at all. But any of the skills which can be learned by a Character can be updated to Master level … this applies to Might & Magic 6

In Might & Magic 7 & 8, Characters may or may not learn some skills … but be restricted in progressing them to Expert, Master or Grandmaster. I got really annoyed when I discovered my Dark Elf couldn't become a Grandmaster of Elemental magic. I don't like playing with the Dark Side or Liches so I was really mad. But I have these really wonderful Saved Game Editors, which allows me to let my Characters learn what skills I wanted for them at whatever level I liked … or to remove them altogether. The Editors can edit Skills, Spells, Stats, Resistances, Inventory, Gold, Food, and more. The Editors can be downloaded here:
