1) Any arcane spellcaster can become Magister. The title is almost always won by combat (defeating, usually killing, the incumbent and taking their place), but sometimes Azuth or Mystra will ask an individual to become Magister. #realmslore
Mr Greenwood question! Is it theoretically possible for a studious sorcerer who follows Mystra to become her Magister? The position is often changed and won via challenges or combat, but is it strictly reserved to wizards? Or could sorcerer take its position and spread magic!

2) So in theory, a studious, non-combat individual (who, yes, is a sorcerer) could become Magister. #realmslore

What are the effective goals of followers of Azuth and/or Mystra, and how do they differ, given that one can worship a smaller deity that serves another?
