Award Ceremony

Mazrian says, "We would like to recognize as our first prize winner a scholar whose work showed peerless attention to detail and insight into his subject."
Mazrian says, "Who not only raised interesting points of lore, but in conversation raised interesting points of actions, and causes for concern."
Lupdels

Mazrian says, "Next, we would like to recognize a theorist whose work was as much about social implications as magical."
Mazrian says, "And who, I must say, gave us a glimpse into a possible future that may have been utopian or dystopian, depending."
Yvela

Mazrian says, "Our next theorist asked us to consider the power inherent in ourselves."
Mazrian says, "A thesis that was both inspiring and disturbing for its various implications."
Mazrian says, "Powerful ideas are sometimes uncomfortable. This forum is grateful for being moved out of its zone of comfort."
Eyst

Mazrian says, "Next we would like to honor a theorist whose political treatise, we believe, was an important call to clarity and inclusiveness that could shape the culture of magic for the better."
Traim

Mazrian says, "Magic is practiced for its objective effects, but the practice of magic is subjectively mediated through perception. Next we would like to honor a theorist who had the wisdom to develop this idea and the clarity to communicate it well."
Miskton

Mazrian says, "Lastly, we would like to honor a theorist whose...ahh...uncomfortable ideas...were novel and interesting."
