Disciplines
Mystic Brew, Twisted Vellum, Open Tome
Generations ago, the Gōngjiàng Sect was counted amount the Great Clans which founded the Empire of Seven Dragons. Though they have lost prominence over the years, their traditional style known as the Artisanal Magics displays nearly unparalleled mastery of both crafting and arcane manipulation with a secondary focus on collecting and mastering the knowledge and wisdom of masters.
The Artisanal Magics focus on crafting and using magic items in non-standard ways, transforming even a simple scroll or vial of potion into a powerful weapon on the battlefield. Some techniques even allow disciples of this tradition to capture hostile magics and harness it as their own.
The Artisan School forms one of the two pillars of power within the Gōngjiàng Sect. They see the Ancestor School within the same sect as both allies and bitter rivals. Few martial disciples embrace both of the sect’s traditions, but those who do find themselves embroiled within the frequent internal power struggles. Secretly, both schools hope that a disciple will one day grow powerful enough with both schools to unite the clan and usher in a new golden age for the Gōngjiàng.
