Valmallos
Valmallos, the Answering Rite, is a primordial inevitable who understands all laws of magic, and regulates its usage to ensure it is inaccessible to those who fail to put sufficient practice and training to wield it responsibly. Scholars believe the complex array of spell components so prevalent in magic are at least partially Valmallos's responsibility.123
Appearance
The Answering Rite appears as a mechanical giant with an exposed, glowing heart. His form is also surrounded by serpentine scrolls.23
Cults
Valmallos typically approves of wizards, and he and his devotees are wary of those born with the ability to use magic to the point of prejudice. Other spellcasters are judged on a case-by-case basis, depending how responsibly they used their powers in the past.123
His followers are perfectionists in magical practices, and Valmallos views them more as students whom he can educate in ways to make magic more complicated and less inaccessible to the irresponsible. His priests often spend long spans of time teaching apprentices, and hunt them down at any hint of misconduct.123
